The Magic of Song

She stood motionless in ragged habiliments,

her raven filaments were cruddy and matted,

she was charismatic, but not alluring,

she was inconsiderable ,quite scanty,

her humble abode was to us, just a hovel,

then uninfluenced she started to sing,

sounds from that little girl were magical,

her voice sent unbelievable transmissions to my brain,

illusional visions that appeared in my head,

serenity, the pleasure, so overwhelming,

Images circulating through my spiritual structure,

sounds from that child was mind bending,

I was held motionless by her vocal illusion,

no one surely could turn what we were seeing,

Devastation into the most pleasurable place on earth,

This had to be magic, but undeniably the best magic..

Susan Ashley Date: 3/22/2018 7:03:00 PM Roy, I willingly lost myself in your exceptional and exquisite poem filled with beautifully poetic lines; 'no one surely could turn what we were seeing, Devastation into the most pleasurable place on earth, this had to be magic, but undeniably the best magic' - wondrous lines. Your sensitive poem somehow reminds me of war torn Syria and a gifted girl, a songstress trapped there.. your emotional and enthralling poem soars to beyond heaven, my friend. Congratulations on your excellent win! ~ Susan Login to Reply Roy Pett Date: 3/23/2018 10:50:00 AM Thank you so much Susan, to receive an amazing comment from an accomplished poet as you is more than encouraging, I really understand and appreciate your interpretation which makes it more relevant thank you, thanks again for your congratulations much appreciated. :)))
