Fairy Lanterns and Wings

By Petrouchka Alexieva

Riding a Unicorn

I am riding my crispy-white unicorn
With sparkling star on his horn.

Where am I going?

Silver moonlight from above
Is painting a path 
Among blossoming meadows 
Of my dreams and desires.

I am riding my unicorn 
Through the mist; 
Barefooted, with veil on my hips,
Softly wearing my morning tiara,  
Cleansing gently my soul 
In the whispering creek. 

Where am I going?

I am riding 
Towards the morning.
Don’t wake me up, please…

Swinging High

Swinging higher and higher,
Towards the ruby-red sunset,
I see the beams of the diving sun 
Deep down into the ocean horizon.

Swinging high I see above the clouds
Eagles that fly toward the endless sky
I glide on their wings and satisfy
My desires to ride. 
 
Swinging high towards the wind
I hear all fairy tales that it whispers in my hair 
I can travel with him all the way 
To the Milky Way.

Where the Fallen Stars Go

Fallen stars are gift
From the generous moon.
Clouds shimmer when stars
Land on their silky pillows.

Some land on the ocean, 
Sprinkle silver dust
On the back of the dolphins
While they jump in joy.

Some gently land 
On the napping meadows,
Others glitter on the top
Of the dreaming trees.

Fallen stars land in your heart, 
And make you glow from inside.
This is the magic moment
When you FALL in LOVE.

Every Night

Every night,
The sun goes down 
Throwing  colors
From his fire palette.
Joyful flames dance
On the earth’s face.

The first little shadows
Grow with the night;
Playing seek-and-hide
With the orange clouds
On the sky.

The sand on the beach 
Collects his treasures
from the sea – 
A few shiny pebbles 
Shells and stars.

Ready to sleep
The sun deeps down
His face and his rays 
into the ocean mirror
And then, it will disappear.

Fairy Lanterns and Wings

Today, from a hand of a child
I received a bouquet of wild flowers
Her eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.
Her smile was shiny and soft
like a sunflower under the sun.
“Love is coming to you!”, she said.

Right the way I set the bouquet
In a porcelain vase on my nightstand.

At mid-night somebody placed a kiss
on my chick. I felt breeze of wings
over my lips. I felt shimmering lights
over my face and a song in my year.

My flowers! Oh, Dear! 
They open their buds
and a cloud of fairies
flapped their wings;
Dancing and gliding 
with their glowing lanterns
       -     Swirl after swirl, turn after turn!

 
In the morning He came
with 300 roses and dazzling ring
asking, indeed
“Would you marry me?”

Spring in the Alps

The slopes of the mountain
Will keep their snow hats for a little longer.
So, the Alpine villages can host tourist in the resorts.
Waterfalls are still sleeping, creating frozen walls.

I am getting up in my whole gear, climbing to the top.
My harden ropes are strong. I have no fear, not at all.
My sharp crampons are stacking into the ice wall,
In my hands, the ax is strong, piercing hole after hole. 

I am climbing. I am not giving up. I know, it is hard
To work in a rescue team, but we are saving lives.
The aircraft is going to lift the injured ones.
Then, from above, I can see the beauty of the coming spring.

What a reward! Almost touching the clouds
I am getting the very first kiss of the new-season's breeze!

New Love from Heaven

My heart healed after all deep cracks,
numerous stitches and pain of love.

My heart used to bleed, my eyes used to cry,
But no more. My heart now smiles

in grace, given to me from above. 
My heart is in love, new love from heaven.

In My Mid-Night Lavender Dreams

In my mid-night lavender dreams
Crispy-white unicorn comes.
It emerges from the shimmering mist
Showered with stardust from above.

I am touching his twisted horn,
Gliding palm on his waterfall mane, 
Whispering “Where you’re born?
Are you coming from heaven, my friend?”

I am riding with wings of a fairy, 
One little star lands in my heart
Crossing path with a sparkling rainbow
Fireflies lighten my way in love.

I Want to Be Me

I am passing
Through the meadows of life 
Only once and that’s way
I want to deep my hair 
In the sweet perfume 
Of blossoming grass.

I want to bath my feelings
In the pearls of morning dew. 
So, my wings can spread free
From the dust and debris
Catching the sky, 
I want to be me.

It’s a Rainy Day…

It's a rainy day...
Water pours like hell from above;
Water river is big like the street 
On which I am waiting for you.

It's a rainy day... 
Thunders roar like angry lions
shaking the ground below.
Then, seconds of silence
After all … 


But I am waiting for you and I know…
I know you will come...
I am soaked in this storm.
(What a useless umbrella!) 
You will come…
I will be on my knee…

Will you marry me?
