Fantasy in Reality

Tonight as I fondly sit under my best friend  
(A weeping hallowed oak tree)  
I find myself gazing at the allurement of a full moon  
   
Just as radiant as I recall last months visit  
   
Valiant... luminescent... wondrous..  
   
A million insignificant words that will never compare  
Will never truly justify it's caress  
   
The true essence of the romantics  
An inspiration for any era  
The voice of every bleeding pen  
So fragile the soul of a poet..  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
So unheard the desperation of a quill  
   
Desperate for enlightenment  
Desperate for fiction  
   
A story of forgiveness  
A tale of acceptance  
A novel of rescue  
   
The passionate escape from a world in peril  
   
Into the loving arms of prince charming  
A savior for the heroine thrown into chaos  
The "happy ending" for a claustrophobic soul in angst  
In self pity  
   
The shallow thoughts of a reclusive writer  
The nightdream of every author  
Lost in the trance of a minds supernova  
Waiting patiently for celestial guidance  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
A star is such a whore of nature..  
Allowing itself to be exposed by anyone who dares attempt to penetrate it's shear immunity  
Anyone who observers the mystery of a sky painted onyx  
   
I have caught but a mere glimpse of enchantment  
Yet I stare in awe at all the graceful elegance portrayed  
Mesmerized with the infatuation brought on by a veteran seductress  
   
What I would give for the sheltered sight of a lunar fairytale..  
To perceive the world with the endearing craft of a renaissance fable  
   
Alas, the capricorn in me sneers at such rediculous desires  
To be blinded with such audacity..  
Life is not the printed pages of a childhood escape  
   
So as realization once again spits acid upon my manifested thoughts of splendor  
I will retaliate by peering into the promise of moonlight  
   
I will solemnly ignite the cries of a heartbroken violin  
Rekindling the imagination of a youth with fantasy as opposed to a woman in a tragic reality
