-dream of Mine and Keys-

Weight hangs on the tips of my eye lashes
Enthusiasm increases as this mundane world turns to ashes 
I venture to a place where magic horses fly

Sets of golden keys laid underneath seas of violent peas
Curiosity arose, question of what would happen if I was to take one of those
When dwarfs faces were in the dirt
And horses flew to their Pentecostal church
I stole the key, and now I ask myself why

 Taking a key I became an enemy of the lands and sea 
Clouds drew wanted posters and winds echoed alerts of me
I hid behind the silent fence that didn’t have a mouth
And tried to ignore his eyes which had a look of get the hell out
Thoughts raced radically all because of a key I was going to die

Spotted by flying pigs I ran and slipped between a blue pale of twigs
I fell though a bail of cotton candy and saw the sight in which caused the hunt for me
There it laid, glowing so bright, a lock of mystery in which I held the key ever so tight
The key sang the 9th symphony ever so loud, as my curiosity arose ever so proud
It was to see, the power of the key, until I heard a cry the sky

She told me their existence would cease to exist
The colors would dim by inserting key and a simple twist
She said I was the villain which I despised
thoughts raced radically then i felt a twitch in my eyes
Then I wok up

I love this poem! "I venture to a place where magic horses fly" sounds familiar, ha ha. Great image, way to create this mystical place, yet add a dark twist, and I especially like the ending. ~Jenny~
