Hidden Narnia



~ Hidden Narnia ~
 
Always
there is a stillness
to discover
which transports you
to another world
 
a wonderment
lush as the moss
blanketing the forest
soft as a whisper
beckoning you in

 
a haven for your soul
 
journey through paths
never yet seen
wide-eyed, humbled,
awed at the prospect
of finding your own
hidden Narnia

it's out there
closer than you know
listen to the whisper
follow the unknown
 
it couldn't be simpler:
 
to begin,
begin.

Dissension




~ Dissension ~
 
Hold me
walk away
fall back in
stay
 
Who am I
to kill the game?
Damaged, the moth
endures the flame
 
Hypnotist.
It ends the same
who are you?
Say your name
 
Champion
release the grey
solace unnoticed
replay.

Simplistic Love

 
 


~ Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams"
~ Salvador Dali ~

 
 
~ Simplistic Love ~

I've stopped believing in the lore
of superheroes with powers galore
they'll never make it to my shore
because it's you I adore

 
in the interest of a dream
blur the lines of reality's theme
live a future as we deem
it can be as simple as it seems
 
if you feel me to your core
then we have something to explore
I don't need a cape to soar
if you'll love me, evermore.
