This is a poem for a contest asking to write a poem about something Whimsical. |
T’was a night in the swirling, humid middle of June, And I, the sad story of a woman, asleep in my room, Saw a figure; gleaming bright And it t’was awaking me in the darkest of nights. I wondered cross the lawn, nightgown billowing behind, Sure this ghostly orb I can see was a trick of a wizard’s mind. As I approached it, began I to hold my breath, But the cool, fresh air still wriggled into my chest. The colours be a’ swarming, like a liquid rainbow, This glassy ball is filled with mystical water that glowed. E’rything was dead; so it caught my subconscious off-guard, For then the silence shattered into a million shards. The colours were burning, dancing around in my favour, Each fragment of light transformed into a saviour. A thousand gleaming angels, an optical illusion! A million pixies were treading into my vision. They told me of life, love, why I live! They filtered through my thoughts, as if using a sieve. “Does life have a meaning?” they sung in a song, “Is life a million beings gone drastically wrong?” That’s when these illuminated hallucinations That was bewildering my bewitched imagination, Started to melt, fading till a puddle remained, Some neon wax solutions eerily send from the grave, Returned to the orb; souls swimming around, And only I knew of the power I’d found. For this innocent bubble concealing angry phantoms Were trying to teach me to sing my life’s anthem. And when I awoke from what had been only a dream, Deep in my heart an intense feeling spread through my arteries. Young blood pulsing through me, I knew what to do. I had potential, so I put it to use. So watch your actions, or on a peacefull night in June, In your dreams a hell-bent bubble just might come to visit you. |
