"Once upon a time"
By Ophelia
Isn't that where they always start?
No the day before yesterday or last Thursday.
Our world is so complacent dreams and wishes
fantasies that dance in twilight and sing lullabies.
So let us start again,
"Once upon a time"
The wind blew a history of poems through my day dreams.
Softly spoken words teasing my imagination with lines so powerful and awe
inspiring.
What poets have walked these dark and mysterious halls? Where have they
all gone the old souls, the ones reaching and searching for a place to
voice their screams in words of inspiration and loss?
Years of works, life times of tears and dreams dancing on clouds of their
own ever lasting power.
Making me feel, smile and sometimes cry that deep achy feel good kind of
enjoyment that only a poem can cause.
Well this is that place. I always return, when I need that touch of reality
away from life. That whisper of art, stirring my heart with dreams, pain
and beauty. A sweet shout of tongue tickling verses swirling around in
my mind pulling me back into its dark embrace holding me close. Imaginary
caressing my imagination stirring my thoughts in that "Once upon a time"
kind of tale from the past.
The whole time staring at me demanding I contribute something for ignoring
my hunger and thirst for something filled with emotion and passion for
a year or more.....Welcome back stay awhile I will tell you a story "Once
upon a time" there was a poet who lost her way....but now she has found
her way home.

Sometimes there are long stretches where I have nothing that ever really congeals itself into a form I can put onto paper, and sometimes it just flows. I am so very glad to see something has again flowed from your mind and I do hope to see more again from you in the future. Welcome back to the dark halls of your old home! Ciao, T/S
