Do you fear to forest?
Do you fear the night?
I have dreamed such dreams
To fill you full of fright!
Do you love the sunshine
Do you love the light
I have dreamed such dreams
To make you blind, so bright!
I dreamed a dream of fantasy
Of death and life and glory
Of Kings and crowns
And Princes, and their story
I stood upon a grassy knoll
And watched a battle fought
The castle walls broken down
Women chased and caught
And in the shadows hid children
And watched their father slain
I watched him fall, watched them cry
And oh, I felt their pain!
These princes two, watched him die
And watched their city fall
The eldest cowered in fear
While the youngest watched it all
Then years like rain drifted by
I saw them age in years
I saw their triumphs and pains
And tasted their salty tears
The eldest grew to be a king
The youngest a warrior bold
The eldest bearing his father’s locket
And the younger, his chain of gold
Now as to this chain, it is special
A chain of prophesy
With charms to tell the tale of fates
And show what must come to be
Then I dreamed of darkness
A shadow grew in my mind
The princes were not watching
As the shadow crept behind
It snared the eldest by the heel
And in the guise of his advisor
Secretly wove all her spells
To destroy those who’d defy her
Far away, the youngest was
Fighting on kingdoms boundary
Unaware of the shadow
That threatened the people free
I saw him in the forest standing
And then set upon by beasts
Crossing the river, breaking the ban
To enjoy their gory feasts
I dreamed he threw them down
I dreamed he slew them all
And feeling the summons of prophesy
Heard and harkened to its call
Back to his brother I saw him fly
And to him the deceit was plain
For he saw the evil of the sorceress
And saw his brother’s strength wane
I followed him as, despised by her
This young man began to plot
To throw down this sorceress
And reclaim what she had begot
Oh how clever he was, un-fearing of night
Willing to do anything, to win his fight
Oh how brave he seemed to me
This brand of bright white light
I longed to hold and cleave to him
To have him protect me if he might
And I followed him still further
As he sought to maintain the right
What quests we had, what trials
I following in his strong shadow
As he battled against the night
And wrestled with the shadow
Oh the chain of prophesy
Worked cruelly on this prince
Putting him through many a trial
But he’d bear them all with a wince
The kingdom restored
The crown from evil, won
All of this he accomplished
And at last his quest was done
He kept not the crown
Restoring it instead to his brother
For it was not in him to lead
His fate would be another
It saddened me on waking
To see this young prince gone
No, it is not the night I fear
Rather, I fear the dawn
By Analexii (A.K.A. Cassidy R. Scaglione)

Yes, Beleive it or not, i did have this dream once, several times actually... odd. What was more odd still was that i wasn't actually in this dream! I saw the whole thing, and never once played a part in it!

Bravo. Despite the length of this piece, it is kept alive by moving on to different subjects. You've left just the right room for the readers to invision, but didn't give the description too much leeway as to ruin it. What a way to draw upon a dream! Alas, I cannot renember mine...
Thanks, and good luck to you, my friend. -
bravo

Thank You
I was rather considering turning it into a novel... when I find the time (I have a good number of projects to work on as it is!) It only wound up as a poem first because of this contest. (Oh, and i am on a bit of a poetry bender at the moment)
