Beneath the Fairy Lights (a poem)

Beneath the Fairy Lights

Written December 20th, 2011

The soft fairy lights

Make the midnight room glow

Like the love of a heart

Or an infant’s smile

The wall is sprinkled with rainbow reflections

And the shadows of the dim room

Hold no malice

Wrapped in the comforting season,

A child lies in soft slumber

The glittering colors

Alighted softly on his cheek

As if brought by the soft sigh

Of a passing breeze

His eyelids flutter with dreams

Ode to the Pencil

Ode to the Pencil

Written April 6th, 2011

Pencil

A bridge between

My thoughts

And tangible paper

As my dreams get bigger

You get smaller

I'll wear you down

Right to the nub

And you won't complain

For that is your purpose.

Opposites Attract

Written April 1st, 2011

Pristine white

Neat, orderly

Blue lines across

Pink lines down

Perfect, untouched

Pure

Inviting, tempting

Night black

Shapely curves

Sharp lines

Uneven, random

No perfect repetitions

Messy

Creative, meaningful

Pen tip presses

On smooth white paper

What was previously

Empty

Pristine

Is now

Filled

Charmingly askew

This neat page; my messy scrawl

A perfect pair.
