Dream
What did I dream-
When the camp fire dwindled,
When the moon fell behind the trees
And the stars remained unkindled?
What did I dream-
When the blackness penned me in,
When this world of iridescence
Seeped until as black as sin?
What did I dream
When the gale rose around me,
Lifting rocks and snapping trees
And the resounding cry was flee?
What did I dream
When the tide was charging higher,
Sweeping cars out to the sea
And turning grassland into mires?
What did I dream
When flashes crossed the sky
Exploding like electric shells
And we thought the end was nigh?
What did I dream
When the mountains all erupted
Spewing fire on everything
On the purest and corrupted?
I dreamt of sunlit meadows
Of flowers fresh in bloom
I indulged my deepest love
As nature's fury loomed
I walked with the cherub
And held her golden hand
I lay with her forever
As my body turned to sand.

Sorry Ian,for the delay,my excuse for not replying earlier,is I live 3.5klms from here in the internet cafe,and also I forget things. Ok I like your work and you seem to put in a great deal of thought and effort into it,please continue with other stuff. I don't know if your work is brand new or been around,but mine is up to 7 years old,so this internet site keeps me alive in my head,thanks
Ha, you don't need an excuse =) still, 3.5 km is quite some way, wow. (I have a bad memory, so I know the feeling) As for my work, I am really glad that you like it. It's all new, most of it was completed at the moment that it is posted on the site, with some of my original posts having been around for a few months before sharing with enovella (as I hadnt heard of enovella) so whenever I post something, it's two or three days old at most.

I like this poem Ian san :)
And who do you suppose it is about, Lucy chan? Who do you suppose is the heroine who brings light to the darkness, who ends the chaos and pain and renders the world beautiful? who is the golden cherub? =) To quote Othello 'Perdition catch my soul but I do love thee. And when I love thee not, chaos is come again'
