Justin Gildow Poems

I've returned to the Villa
For the first time in years
The chandelier's still hanging from the ceiling
The candlesticks that were once hacked off have been replaced
...

He carries with him
A picture and a letter
Both tied to the love of his life
His deceased wife
...

The matchmaker of the shire sits on a bale of hay to the side of the street
She offers me her charming smile and talks to me for a few minutes
While still clutching her heart shaped staff
...

You're a dream come true to me
You've opened up my eyes for many wonders to see
Your touch heals me
And it trembles to my very core
...

In the sunny and quiet meadow
Highlighted by me and my shadow
I dropp to one knee
In front of the Queen
...

Soon will be the time I'll grow my wings
Soon will be the time for me to take flight
Soon I'll be ready to fly to the destination that is your home tonight
...

Hiding behind a rock
I slowly gaze from behind it
And see the many pixies flying around, casting spells and sprinkling fairy dust
Smiling and charming
...

Generations and bloodlines come together
They're present in each other
They illuminate within you and me
...

Hand in hand
Running away
Through the fields we go
To the enchanted rope
...

I'm getting older
Yet you still look up to me
You still think about me
Even if I think you don't need to that much
...
