Wingadium Leviosa!

Sarolta Bán

I swirled upon a cardboard box my Phoenix feathered wand,

I flipped and swished it through the air and turned it all around,

And murmuring a bit in mumbled voice I tried to cast a spell,

"Wingadium Leviosa, Wingadium Leviosa", I repeated like a knell...

But to no avail my cardboard box lay quite flightless in front of me,

Frustrated and quite angry I slammed it with my feet!

And out popped two sturdy wings gasping for fresh air,

Pearly white and light yet strong flapping strenuously with a flair!

My cardboard box rose a little and for a moment I believed

That magic I could do from my Amazon bought wand, so cheap!

And then the beautiful white swan released from the box,

And rose up in the air disturbing the stillness with her winged chaos...

The dust from my attic floor rose up in her wake,

And twisted up and curved, like a cyclone in a lake.

I stared aghast at the royal thing as she frantically searched around,

Looking for a door, a window or any escape route!

I sprung out of my bewilderment with a dust filled cough and sneeze,

And quickly went and opened up the window and let in some breeze...

The beauty saw the endless skies and heedlessly swished past,

Flapping hard and furiously to meet the open skies at last!

I watched it fly away for while dreamily from my window,

Then packed my wand and went back to the real world below!

Colours filtering lights,

Glass orbs hanging amidst mystery,

A toy shop-

Enticing, enchanting, enthralling,

Deception of the magic that lay inside,

Eager for innocent, beguiled visiters!

The Rise of Evil Queen!

The Faerie's Rise!

Perched atop a fragile beauty,

Dark yet mesmerising rise,

High above the common Faerie,

Powerful and evil queen alights...

Once a beauty, once a joy,

A frivolous doe eyed creature,

Gentle, helpful, a little coy,

Of good, an ardent preacher!

A past so hideous, scary and harsh,

Of loved ones betrayal and deceit,

Turned her vengeful and crass,

Arose from ashes, the evil queen!

The Unexpected Yellow Road!

Sunrise over Singapore.

A few seasons ago,

I was hopping down a farm,

The fields were golden

the ears full and long,

Scraping along my waist

some caught in my frock,

Hopping along the farm,

hoppity hop hop hop!

Trotting in my little,

glittering red oxfords,

I hit upon the unexpected,

Yellow paved road.

Amusingly stretched,

Penetrating the blue skies

So far ahead,

Far far ahead!

Tripping and trotting,

Trot trot trot!!!

Long beautiful infinite,

Unexpected turns,

Unexpected travellers,

A lion, scarecrow,

A metal tinman.

Looking for something

Each did not have.

Me? Me just tapping,

Tipping top top top!!!

Yellow roads leading to

Whiskered old
 wizards,

Sneaky and snobby,

Flying high above!

Magic everywhere,

Friendship on the way

Little yellow brick road,

Of many a stories untold!

Magic wands loose,

Swoosh whoosh Woosh!!!

The Northern Lights

Captured enroute to Dubai, a Huge CB and it's golden lining

The silky waves on the dark sky,

The colors of the rainbow in the dead night,

I havent seen them yet I hear,

The beauty of the Northern Lights...

Do you know how they come to be?

Its a secret, a real fantasy...

The magic rises from the earth 

And lights the sky in its mirth...

The magic of the ancient times,

Rises in roaring colors to the sky!

The magic of irresistible Love,

And the joy of dreams come true...

The magic of a lightened heart,

Of sweet gentle sound of a laugh,

And that of a twinkling eye, 

Of the beautiful loving new bride...

It rises all to the sky,

In vibrant colors called the Northern Lights...
