Be Forewarned, it's long, it's epic, and it's beautiful. I would love feedback. Night before last I did not sleep. I had an idea for a poem (this poem) and spent seven hours, throughout the night, writing it. I'll sleep some other day!!! Enjoy...
Fantasyland
My
beloved, My beloved
Her
thoughts are flooding into my mind,
I
feel something starting to form
Another
one of a kind;
How
will I tell it?
What
am I going to say?
Maybe
a poem, maybe a quote,
Maybe
simply and essay;
Then
what should I tell you
What
wisdom should I impart?
I’ll
tell you about my yearning
Yes,
I know just where to start;
Let’s
start with my heart
Where
my beloved resides,
It’s
where my inner child
Always
runs and hides;
Me
the child
Her
the child bride,
A
world of our own
Your
rules defied!
I’ll
tell you of our world
Until
now you didn’t know,
Our
secret hiding place
Where
only we can go;
It’s
a magical, mystical place
Where
the cats are purple and green,
The
dogs run backwards
And
nothing is as it seems;
What
we see and do
Would
probably make no sense,
From
an outsiders perspective
And
what our union represents;
Yet
it’s where our prayers are answered
And
love is always the theme,
And
dreams are reality
And
reality is only a dream;
It’s
where I see us and our future
I’ve
visited many times before,
And
although we call it Fantasyland
It
is home to the one I adore;
She
has free reign there
Beware
if looks could kill,
‘Cause
if you visit Fantasyland
My
beloved has free will;
Yet
you cannot visit there
It’s
in another dimension in time,
The
only way you’ll know about it
Is
if you follow my meter & rhyme;
So
follow along if you dare
Be
careful what you ask for,
This
is more than just a story
More
than just Poe’s Nevermore;
For
Fantasyland is in my mind
It’s
where my beloved and I can exist,
Her
the ruling Queen
Me
just a Poet & Essayist;
For
I’m there to entertain her
And
to fulfill her every need,
A
life for a life
This
is what we’ve agreed;
But
there is nothing to take for granted
My
beloved MUST know,
Will
I PROVE my LOVE
Or
is it all just for SHOW???
I
prove it time and again
No
matter the task,
My
beloved knows
All
she has to do is ask;
If
she says, “Take a beating”
I
say, “Yes ma’am,”
And
when it’s over I’ll say,
“Would
you like me to do it again;”
If
she says, “Jump”
I’d
say, “How high,”
Without
question, for her
I
live, and die;
But
Fantasyland’s a nice place
There’s
nothing to second guess,
She
only has to ask
The
answer is always yes;
And
in our world
We
cuddle all day,
Look,
Touch, and Kiss,
This
is how we play;
We
communicate all day
Without
uttering a word,
We
had to learn this
For
we could not be heard;
We
would be ostracized
By
society at large,
It’s
only in Fantasyland
Where
we are in charge;
We
were so far away
Yet
oh so near,
We
found ways to communicate
Yet
we always lived in fear;
It
was in Eden we lived
Like
Adam and Eve,
Everything
they had
Is
what we believe.
For
God created Eve
And
my beloved too,
And
if you ever meet my beloved
You’ll
know this is true;
My
beloved is so beautiful
I
see her every night,
I
may be bi-polar
But
I have amazing insight;
Dream
after dream
She
is always there,
Deep
inside my mind
Who
else would care?
And
in picture after picture
In
the scrapbook I made,
Fantasyland
is glorious
My
beloved came once and stayed;
And
with my pictures and my poems
I’ve
created a world from nothing,
A
place we could exist
Where
nothing became something;
Yes,
my scrapbook has it all
Caught
the essence of romance,
And
of course there’s my beloved
And
all of her elegance;
She
is the only female
And
I the only male,
Us
the only two
There
we prevail;
We
need no one else
We
have each other,
Never
wanting more
Never
needing another;
I
think of Noah
Noah
and his Ark,
Two
by two
Where
we could go and embark;
And
lastly in Fantasyland
We
live in a lawless frontier,
We
are only bound by nature
Society
we do not fear;
We
simply Love each other
Your
laws do not apply,
I
know you want to change us
But
it’d be futile to try;
For
we in Fantasyland
Decide
what’s right and wrong,
Most
of what we believe
Is
written in song;
So,
although you’ll never see it
I
can tell you first hand,
That
me and my beloved
Rule
Fantasyland!
