Fantasy Forest
The horror repeats in my mind like an annoying verse
Of all the remembering I get to rehearse
I hear your voice but I can’t see your face
I see your outline but I can’t see your race
I see your hazel eyes through the treetops
I hear your footsteps through the forest rocks
The faeries they flicker on and off
The gnomes they wander through the corn crops
The giants they battle over towards east
I snuggle deeper within my fleece
My breath withers in shapes before my eyes
I feel the bitterly coldness through my thighs
I see the wildlife race to their homes
The corn rattles from all the gnomes
The whistling of dragons way up high
To my surprise, I let out a great sigh
Your voice is heard once the same
I stare up through the redwoods in the warm rain
I sense the eyes following my movement
I hear the dragons from Windrose where they were sent
The demons scream within the castle on a hill
I know all they want is to just kill
A faerie lands on my right shoulder
I see yellow eyes from behind a boulder
The faerie tells me that your waiting up ahead
She tells me that I can’t go to bed
She’s only two inches at best
I’m so tired but I can’t rest
Crickets chirp through the Weeping Willows
I walk past a few white tigers sleeping on their pillows
One’s eyes are closed the other looks up
He parts his mouth and says, “look out pup,”
I nod my head to let him know I heard
But little by little my vision becomes blurred
A snake drops from the branches way up high
He lands on my arm and says, “why do you sigh?”
I look at him not knowing what to say
I aim at the mountain slowly as night becomes day
He curls up perched against my arm
Off in the distance I hear an alarm
His red slit eyes open in shock
I stumble through an eyeball rock
I whisper to it, “oh pardon me,”
It groans in awe as it tries to see
Ahead by snap rods I see you standing
The snake slithers off with spectacular landing
I run into your arms as you stand there
You kiss me gently and run your hands through my hair
“I love you, baby,” is all you say
Welcome to my Fantasy Forest--welcome to another bright day!
