The Palace of Fantasy



Behold the threshold palace of fantasy.
Leave boldly each step of reality.
Journey as a whispers flight
to meet the Empress of Light.

Humbly we bow to her majesty
presenting our gifts graciously.
For tonight we will dine and feast
upon the imagery of innocent beauty.

Breathe deep sweet freedom's air
comfort and soothe all fear that you feel.
Dare to speak all yearning dreams,
empty your thoughts allow her to fill.

Drifting you tenderly away
through sands of time gently placed.
Luscious lands of beauty and grace,
kindly transform you into a small tiny lass.

Shy little creatures gently surround.
Making you wonder......
"why did I not see them before."
Lightning bug fairies dance about your nose.

Tree frog troll's leap to your toes.
Sweet Goddess Cherry Tree weeps down,
to welcome you to Fairy town.
A soft rosy kiss she leafs upon your cheek.

Hard to resist the giggle and laughs.
Light as a breeze inviting you to dance.
Music of soulful delight sings in your ears,
though no sound does echo aloud to hear.

Truly this must be,
a peek of heaven revealed,
Sailing the voyage of impossible to believe.
Oceans of lost imagery calling out tenderly.

Play, play with us in fantasy,
for work is not done,
until the dance has
begun and all are invited to stay.

Be careful you do not over-stay,
for many have come and never strayed,
back to their mortal homes,
once again.

    It's a beautiful poem and I love for use of music and image for the whole affect. It's a great fantasy tale and I love the way you've used the idea of the fairy town not being on a mortal plain.
    Good luck!

    I admire the poem as a whole including the concept of fantasy as it takes me into a foreign place for a moment and i love fairies and all things non-reality. the ending is great, putting the audience back to the real world by escaping it previously
