Ready for the Ball....

 

Belle of the Ball

My dress is made of fine peach coloured lace

Hair is in ringlets, which frames my pretty face

The lights in the room cast a romantic glow

My first ever ball; I must go with the flow

The orchestra strikes up a wonderful tune

Ladies and gentlemen glide round the room

I stand on the sidelines I am oh so very shy

Then a dashing young man catches my eye

I smile at him, then I coyly avert my eyes

I find him so handsome; that I cannot disguise

He reaches tenderly for my awaiting hand

We move to the dance floor; oh it is so grand

His arm wrapped around my tiny waist

We dance to the music, there is no haste

So full of excitement at the hope of romance

I float round the room at my very first dance

At the end of the dance he bows down low 

My heart is aflutter I hope this does not show

He leads me gently to the side of the room

Sweet roses enchant us, we smell their perfume

Time flies by so fast and we dance all night

He looks in my green eyes and to my delight

Whispers so gently those words I long to hear

You simply are the belle of the ball my dear

He reaches out gently and kisses my hand

My first ever ball has been oh so grand

Sadly now it is time for me to depart

I bid adieu to the man who has stolen my heart

I will Light the paths of the Faire.....

 

LIGHTING THE WAY by PRAVEEN KUMAR

If I was one thing, I’d be a candle

Lighting the way so you can handle

Your life easier without woes

Not having to fight with your foes.

I’d help keep you from stumbling over

Things blocking your path to an open door.

If I light your path, life is easier,

Even strong winds, my light will not deter.

No matter what, I’m here for you

To cheer you up when you are blue.

Do not fret when times get tough,

If things look down or kind of rough.

Just remember, I’m always here,

In your heart, close and near.

I will help you out in every way,

Happiness and love in your heart will stay.

Don’t blow me out, that’s one request

Unless it’s me you do detest.

I do not try to hurt anyone

That isn’t good or any fun.

But one day you may leave me behind

You may no longer need my light to shine.

If that day comes, go on your way

And I will hope to see you again one day.

If one day, I don’t appear,

Do not worry, do not fear

I may be gone, but in your heart

The light I gave you did not depart.

It will be there forever and a day

To always bring happiness and light your way.

Farewell for now, I’m needed elsewhere

If your path grows dark, in your heart, I’m there.

So I’m really not gone, just not seen,

I would not leave, I’m not that mean.

Only one simple request that I must say,

Please, never forget those who lit your way.

Out for and Adventure at the Faire....

The Road Not Taken – Robert Frost

“I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.”

I Know a little Cottage.......

 

I Know a little cottage

Where everything's just right;

The windows bloom with tulips-

at dusk there's candlelight.

The knotted oak beside it

is webbed with icy leaves,

and honeysuckle tangles

in clusters round the eaves.

The friendly gate swings open

Against a low stone wall

Where quaint oldfashioned blossoms

Design a Paisley shawl;

an up the winding pathway

The stones with moss are grown-

I love that little cottage

Because it is my own!

Daniella goes to the Faire....

 Today I'm Going to the Fair

Today I'm going to the fair,

It's been so long since I was there!

Soon be feeling fine and dandy,

Eating fries and cotton candy.

Midway rides, such a thrill,

Grandstand shows fill the bill.

Mingling with the happy crowd,

Music playing, good and loud.

Seeing friends from long ago,

Lots of people I don't know.

Feeling like a kid again,

Playing games...I hope I win!

Ferris wheel spinning round,

Good to be off the ground.

At the top, looking down,

Looking all around the town.

Time to go, what a day!

Long time since I felt this way.

Sights and sounds still in my mind,

What a great way to unwind!

Happiness cannot be bought,

At least, that's what I always thought.

Sometimes, good times can be lost

If all we think of is the cost.

Today my money was well spent,

The fun was well worth every cent.

Memories made will last a lifetime,

Glad I went, I had a great time.

From the crack in the wall

The tiny leaves showing

The roots taking hold

The determination showing

Take the world by storm

Watch the spinning earth slowing

On the ride of your life

Keep your faith growing

Believe in your heart,

Keep the hope flowing....

For when the going gets tough

It's the tough who get going!

The Sleeping Nymph....

 The Nymph and the Dryad ~ Part 1 (Excerpt)

O, Stranger, have you ever been

To Fairyland, where things unseen

Unfold before your very eyes -

A mystery, a paradise

Among the quiet moors and flowers -

Behold the realm of magic powers.

You answer: "I have never seen

Such mysteries, except for dreams,

Where truth goes hand in hand with lies -

The mind wakes up before it dies."

The Cottage in the Woods....

 

Cottage in the Woods

A cottage stands forgotten.

I know not why.

I saw it in the shaded woods,

As I was strolling by.

A lovely home it might have been,

With someone living there.

But now the yard is overgrown,

The rooms completely bare.

Perhaps the cottage wants to hide,

Recalling memories,

Shared only with the dusty path,

And with the sheltering trees.
