the key

Rainbow hues
and emerald pools,

where my soul wanders and seeks

without body or thought-

it is here, my truth is sought.

 

In deep conservsations

with strangers, they seem

yet all too familiar;

their faces insinuate pain.

 Girdled by sunshine, which perpetrates rain...

 

"You must do this no matter

what the risk may be,"

these five giants say surrounding me,

"Be brave, and be strong..."

I'm handed a key

 

I look upwards at the sky- so grand

and then darkness possesses over the land

as I am still looking above and beyond

the stars begin to rotate into new formations

turning blue, then a cross... I understand

 

It is me who they chose

to rage this war-

put an end to all evil

and warrant the Light

I will fight to the end

and out of my sight

 

I am frightened and fazed,

still holding that key-

those miscreations; still looking down at me

"Go now, before you run short of time"

I scamper away, with "to where?" on my mind

 

It is then that I'm in a wilderness full of dispair

with demons and half breeds

with nothing to spare

they bite at my bossom and inhale my breath

suddenly... I'm impregnated and teeming regret...

 

I see a building, glowing with light

this must be safe...

"Am I right?"

I pull open a sullied and  squalid door,

I'm relieved and confused what is in my sight

 

An old friend, a kindred soul of sorts

bent over an icecream cooler

throwing out containers and quarts

looking at me, full of surprise

our eyes meet; then we run back outside

 

The stars, they change their allignment

into an arrow pointing at us

from blue into purple...

making a cybernated sound-

 I drop the key; it falls to the ground

 

"We must go, here is not safe...

just believe me. You must; have faith"

the incubus had smelled our fear and wanted a taste

I retrieved the key and we started to race-

then I awoke, our destiny..... awaits......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

perhaps.... one day.... I'll get to "go it" again....

    To be continued......
    Your grand imagination is second to none lass..
    the friend with the ice cream really put this into
    Fellini mode.....
    i thought it added to all the colorful imaginative work built around it....
    again as i said before...your work has a cinematic feel to it.....
    This was very creative and most definitely entertaining......
    You are a unique talented writer indeed....

    Much love
    little gypsy,
    Liam
