Fantasyland

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!

Eccentricities in eBook

Sorry I haven't written in such a long time.  I have been finishing and preparing for publication my latest book Eccentricities.  It is going to be released as an eBook and it is on target to be released and made available at all major online booksellers on September 17th.

It is a collection of my poetry on a variety of subjects, Love, life, happiness, etc.  Unlike my other works this book is not heavy on abuse.  I am saving those writings for The Mind Guards the Gate poetry series.  Here is a sample:

Heart of Hearts

I don’t always see you
But I want to,
‘Cause in my heart of hearts
I hear you;

Worlds and worlds apart
I can’t touch you,
But in my heart of hearts
I feel you;

All I have is pictures
To turn to,
There in my heart of hearts
I see you;

I cannot even hold you
But I want to,
It’s in my heart of hearts
That I can touch you;

If only I could tell you
The only thing I want to,
It’s in my heart of hearts

“I love you.”

A month after the release of Eccentricities comes the release of the long awaited and highly controversial book The Rosebud Collection.  This will also be released as an eBook.  It was turned down by nine publishers before I found a publisher that shared my vision.  I promise you the artwork alone will satisfy all readers.
