Magic

New/unpublished poems 1 Comment »
I am
intangible grace
granting wishes
fairy flakes
dusting your dreams,
I am
even when you think I’m not
I am
even when you lose sight of me
I am
even when you deny my power,
I am
ancient rituals
fantastical notions
hallucinations,
jar-bound genies
talismans
words of yearning.

I was in the future.

I will be in the past.

I am
present
on your journey
at your side
in your heart.

Ideas won't be beaten, no sir

I thought you could beat, pummel, and thrash an idea into existence. Under such treatment of course any decent idea folds up its paws, fixes its eyes on eternity, and dies.
