Seamstress

I weave a web of fairy tales
The temptress paints a fantasy
Whims dance gaily like little nymphs
Beckoning reality

The nimble needle deftly moves
Seamlessly, through satin sheen
When within a fold, she stops
In or out or in between?

Two colours gently intertwine
Hues if a song are melody
Merrily they spiral around
Taut, in balanced harmony

They move through thick and thin by turns
A lilting echo in their wake
Enticing steps, a charming tune
I hope the thread will never break

maybe its the music i was listening to while reading it, or maybe it was jus ur choice of words... but tht was really good. Maybe u shld write a fairy tale instead. i'm somewhat of a specialist in it...the gory ones are my fav :P

btw, the song is called Anayat. Its in Persian, so you probably wouldn't understand the lyrics.. but then you really dont have to. the music is soulful.
