Ballad of Dreams: One: Beneath the Realm Part Two

Why oh demon have you blocked me from such this place? Tell me, tell me, I wish to look upon your flawless face I wish to find that mysterious cloaked figure, walking amongst the dead his image, his visage appears to me- clouding my head Take me back to my dreamland, the forests, the fog and the river Against your touch I no longer shiver But I implore you, my demon protector take me back to my reality Do not leave me to continue to face this false fantasy Bring me back to my dead forest Where by the brooke I can rest And I, forever with you, will be free at last For this reality, will always remain and my love for you grows vast Above the realm of fantasy To the blurred lines of the beating heart of Reality Lies this secret world of the unknown And a bird, is perched upon the grey castle stone Contemplatively I watch this bird, such beauty in such a deadened place His red-black wings, spread as he flys dropping low-almost smacking me in my face Longingly I yearn to be just as he is, flying content and free But alas, I am stuck to this broken ground, waiting for you to return to me My faith in you, is slowly dieing, heart cracking and crying I know not why I feel this bond to you Everything all just so...new And I wait, and I continue to wait when suddenly there you are You seem so close-like I can feel you-though you are distant and far But it doesn't matter because you've returned me and now I am complete in my home Down here below lost in the unkown Where no one can find me And you and I are free To spead out times wandering aimlessly through the forest dead Where the inhabitants of this land do not tread And my mysterious dark figured friend Watches over me, always been the protector in the end But to you my heart belongs And only to you will it ever belong Beneathe the lines of reality Lies a secret- a world of fantasty I find this place often in my dreams-with the castle on the hil, it's faded stone Down here in the dream of false reality, lieing fantasy-is all to be known

That bird fascinated me, which means you can get under the readers skin with the tale. A true ballad. And the repeat of the conclusion from the intro---brilliantly chilling. Overall, one of my favorites, hands down. ^^(holy crap i wrote a novel) Always, laura (part 2)

"Against your touch I know longer shiver" But the reader surely does! And this is astounding. Who would have thought a demon to be a protector? Great originality. Damn, I'm kinda jealous of this poem. Hehe. I love the lapse of time, as well as the contemplative bird stanza. (part 1)
