Peter, Enchantment and Stardust: The Poems: Peter: A Darkened Fairytale, #2

By William O'Brien

Peter, Enchantment and Stardust is a delightful collection of strange and mystical poems inspired by the children’s book Peter: A Darkened Fairytale. 

The author has created a variety of magical poems revealing new secrets of the hidden worlds from the first novel. Enchantment gives an insight of the some of the delights readers will be able to find in the forthcoming story in Peter’s adventures. For the light of heart, Stardust will make dreams come true.

As always, there is the expected beauty of light and an unreasonable fear of the dark. Although, one could ask, should one really be afraid of the dark? 

However, for now, enjoy the mysteries and wonder of the light in Peter, Enchantment and Stardust but do be careful of things that may be hidden. 

Until we next meet… count your wishes!

Swirling dreams

Dragons knew

Touching life to win

Deep inside many other worlds

Where should we begin?

––––––––

Drawers and Doors

––––––––

A drawer is a drawer and a door is a door

One way in and one way out

What... not sure? A time in space

Has now arrived for some readers passing by

And travelling through in a blip of time

Goes so quickly like this rhyme

The thoughts one thinks may not be real

And sometimes they will make you squeal

Biting, scratching, tastes hang true

Inside this book, you'll meet things new

Must be careful, for if you fall

These evildoers will seize all

Taking bodies of minds and prey

Trapped, entombed as darkness flays

If by chance, you are done

Chase the light, chosen one

Do you hear the ticking of the clock?

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock

Staring from those eyes so bright

View things given with new sight

For all that see, avoid the dark

A path is shown near the park

A secret there for all that be

Touch dimensions and open me!

Finding Fingle

––––––––

Spies the brightest orb of light

An elf of beauty touched it twice

Playing with her petals blue

Raindrops falling fresh and new

Acorns strewn among the leaves

A spider's web holds its weave

Babies scattered along the threads

Caterpillars crawl into their beds

Moonlight
