Kaila George (20 October 1962 / New Zealand)
A Dream Like State
Imaginary realms of old
Make believe and fantasies
Virtual magic beings of light
Universe of dreams unfold
Kings and Queens
Bow to fate
And lead their Realm
To prosperity
Goblins, Vampires
Fight with glee
Trading blood
For sanity
Gossamer wing
Flutter in the breeze
Fairies dance
On moonlight and sunbeams
Dragons fly to the
Mountains so high
Cascading fires
On wings of the night
Unicorns, and fairies plight
Prance and dance
To the lute of love
That cupid's play
The small child within
Stirs while asleep
And smiles to self
In a dream like state
You wake you sigh
And dream no more
You've lost the plot
Of reality
You stretch and yawn
In twilights dawn
And smile to yourself
Let's dream once more
So quietly you snuggle in
Sweet dreams are what
The slumber brings
Faint smile
A whisper of a sigh
You dream once more
Of all your fantasies
