Tower Of Magic

   when elixir of moon drips wine
into the crystal goblet of magic
   this  late night beguiles my skin, reeling
            on a Friday parade of lights;
    my hips oh so beckon, swaggering to and fro...


         impossible to deny this playgroud of fancy
    of a soul flitting in.  and  out of supple thoughts
            when my imagination dangles 
        on anklets of stars
      as naked rhythm grows, my free will abides
    to sip the juice of this wondrous ambrosia...

  and goddess  Isis wheels into the forest
         with neon banners,
      spinning dream--like fables in my heart
    tingling flesh against trickles of time,

 where seahorses ride on carousels
    where ' a crimson sky breaks the distant shore'
       and vivid  thoughts spill like silver rain:

  in a tower  of daydreams or night walks,
        visions  are spun  without question.

Maria Williams May 21, 2025 at 6:12 AM Dear Nette, Your poem is a lush, sensual reverie that pulses with enchantment and divine feminine energy. From the moment “the elixir of moon drips wine” into that “crystal goblet of magic,” I was swept into a world where rhythm, mysticism, and desire merge in dazzling harmony. Your imagery is rich and evocative—“anklets of stars,” “seahorses on carousels,” “goddess Isis with neon banners”—each line painting a dreamscape both vivid and spellbinding. There's a wild freedom in your words, a celebration of imagination unbound and spirit unleashed. Reading this felt like sipping ambrosia under moonlight—intoxicating, ethereal, and wholly unforgettable.

CayCay Godwin May 20, 2025 at 12:02 PM Beautifully and uniquely filled with Nette-imagery and metaphors that gift the reader's soul with a trip thru 'otherness'. 2nd stanza, 2nd line, 'an' is calling for her d-mate. Loved this ... CayCay

Daniel Henry Rodgers May 20, 2025 at 5:38 AM Dear Nette, pure enchantment with moonlit magic and wild imagination. I’m swept away by your lush imagery: anklets of stars, neon banners, seahorses on carousels. You capture the freedom and allure of night’s playground, where dreams and rhythms entwine. Oh this was an intoxicating journey and your words are an elixir to sip from wonder’s crystal goblet. Spring Blessings, My Dear Nette, Daniel

Yann Rolland May 19, 2025 at 5:18 PM beautiful images and music, an enchanting poem dear poet, enjoyed your creativity

Lyric Man May 19, 2025 at 4:51 PM Nette.. Your beautiful and mysterious write is intoxicating and highly emotive, tapping into something primal and dreamlike. I’m in a glorious and mystical fog of not completely grasping the full context, which is actually part of your artist allure. I taste a sensual, euphoric state.. coming in and out of a dream-like state? It feels like a spiritual high mixed with intimate energy.. what amazing twins! This reading was an exciting and exhausting journey.. why am I flush and sweating :) I sent you a Soupie
