A sample of poetry from Joanna Webster

Love Spell
Warm embrace for Winter night
Faithful wings for tender flight
An end to tears that fall like rain
Protection from unwanted pain
Romantic haze to blind all blue
Just add me, just add you
~~~~~~~~~~
Midnight mystery
Last night I took a chance as I stepped off the cliff.
I could've hurled to the ground, instead I started to drift.
Through the night sky that was dotted with light bulbs, not stars,
They shone above the road which was empty of cars.
Empty of cars but alight with an arrow
That pointed me down the long, straight and narrow.
That led me to a forest with carpet on the floor,
And the purple coloured trees came complete with a door.
I entered them all, one at a time,
And each one led to a room inside my mind.
In one I was summoned to find a captain's lost treasure,
So, I jumped on board his ship that had sunk in the desert.
In another, I was a snowflake that troubled the month of June.
One room flew away in a wooden hot air balloon.
The last door led me to a scene I knew well,
My room, my bed - into which I fell.
The night came to an end and in the morning I woke.
I pondered my journey of which I never spoke.
Where did it come from? What did it mean?
There's no place more mysterious than the world of which I dream.
Where does it sleep when I am not in slumber?
I'd love to know, but then again, I love to wonder.
~~~~~~~~~~
Can forgive, can't forget
I remember nights the same as an endless warmth from an eternal flame.
I remember tears that fell like coins into a wishing well.
I remember words so sweet that they kissed my ears and swept me off my feet.
I remember skies as grey as a framed memory that is fading away.
I remember forgiving the fret, but you are a little more harder to forget.
