Dreamscape Part 1
I was
running so fast
In that deep
dark forest
All I heard
was my own breathing
A large lion
came out of nowhere
Trying to
stop me from escaping
I have
nowhere to go,
But it was
too late, he’s near me
As I closed
my eyes with fear
I can’t
move, I feel frightened
The lights
blinding me
I opened my
eyes
People
staring at me,
It was that
very moment
When I was
about to say my original piece
But I was
locked in to the perception of horror
Voices
everywhere, as it grew louder
And in a
blink of an eye
I fainted…….
I stare at
the four walls of my room
I was
breathless; I can still feel the exhaustion from my dream
Those
lights, those people, those voices
I could
never forget the day I opened my eyes into day dreaming
My mom, used
to tell me that she was a daydreamer herself too
Sometime she
would skip meals to dream the impossible dream
And I guess
I got that trait from her.
I was never
the bright child
Nor the
center of attraction
But instead
I was the complete opposite
I am the
girl who was never seen
I don’t
mind, if I have no friends
Because it’s
better to have no one than to get hurt
The feeling
of being in solitude
Simply loose
me from being on the road
All I do was
to sit alone in a corner
Read my
books, fantasize and enter myself into a never ending story.
According to
this species called “Bullies”
I am the
only member of the so called “Freak Show”
I guess that
they have a very lousy imagination
How can they
not see? I am a Queen in this lost time
I used to
raise my hands to be heard
But everyone
thinks I’m a piece of trash
And there is
this one classmate of mine who’s sitting behind me
Used to pass
message on a crumpled paper?
And get
pissed when I pass it to the wrong person.
Somehow this
is my everyday life
I go to
school, I go home, I go to school, I go home
Never
changing phases
Never ending
triumphs
In the
middle of the day
I used to
think who would ever like a girl like me.
There is
this one place that I used to hang out
Lie down and
started to dream about my future.
The breeze
of the air touches my skin
As the rays
of lights shines above me
The birds
singing their unforgettable tune
As the sea
dances on their own beat
“My Queen,
My Queen” an echoing voice awakens me
“My Queen, I
have been searching all over for you”
A boy kneeling
down from me,
With eyes as
blue as the sea
And with
hair as gold as the sun
What an
innocent face he has?
“My Queen,
are you alright? The crowd is waiting for you!”
What is he
saying “Queen”?”
I am no
queen, I’m just here taking a nap
And all of a
sudden
“What are
you talking about?” I asked
“What am I
talking about? You my Queen, the crowd is waiting for your arrival?”
Oh I am so
dreaming!
How can a
lonely girl like me be a queen?
This is so
good to be true
“You know
what I’m done with dreaming so you can leave now,
I have no
time playing games with you sir!”
As I stood
up,
I witness
that the clouds where all in pink
And the
grass was never green, it was purple!
And the sea
was no longer blue but yellow.
I stumbled,
what’s going on?
I stare at this
young gentleman in front of me
He was just
eyeing on me
Not saying a
word but just staring
“Who are
you? And what is this place?”
“I am Chris
at your service my queen,
And this
place is your kingdom.”
He said with
a smile on his eyes
“Okay, I am
no queen,
Nor this is
my kingdom.
I’m just a
girl,
Who loves to
take naps in this area?
So please,
tell me honestly
What in the
world is this place?”
“Well, to
answer your question, may I?”
He stands
up, lend his hands to me
As he
started talking,
What a beautiful
creature?
His hair
glows as the sun shines on it
His eyes,
it’s as if I am drowning in the deep blue sea
And the way
he talks
It’s so
mesmerizing
I never
understand the words he uttered
But his
voice makes my soul dance like butterflies
Arrg! What
am I thinking?
There’s no
time for day dreaming in a place like this
Everything
seems to be different from the way it’s supposed to be
And here I
am fantasizing about this boy I don’t even know
“This is
your kingdom” and that’s it
That’s the
only thing I have heard in his long explanation
As I look
around
I see things
that I have knew I saw before
The cats,
were like huge lions protecting the kingdom
And there
are fairies
Maintaining
the beauty of the place
And
mermaids!
Singing this
amazing tune of love
And the
pirates!
Are dancing
with smile on their faces
Wait a
second I am really dreaming
Bump! “Oh
I’m sorry my dear queen!”
Creeps the
bird is the same height as I do
And it
talks!!!
“That’s Mr.
Gunter! He’s one of the finest bird warriors in your kingdom!” He whispered
In the
middle of the crown I heard someone screaming
And It’s not
someone, it’s a………….. REINDEER!
“The Queen
has arrived!” as the trumpets and drums started playing
“I guess we
should now move my queen” he said
“Can you
explain to me again, why am I here?
And why are
this people in their strange costume?”
As I pass
by, each creature gave me flower necklaces
It’s as if I
am a Hollywood star and they are my fans
I am really
dreaming!
I covered my
ears and eyes
Not wanting
to see or hear anything from this world
I am a bit
frightened with I am seeing
That I can’t
help but to cry
Chris
removed my hands from my eyes and ears
And
whispered onto my ear “Look everybody is smiling at you
They are
happy with your arrival;
They have
been waiting for you for a long time
And look how
you beautiful your empire is
So stop
crying, don’t worry I’ll always be behind you”
I wiped my
tears away as I witness the dazzling creatures of this monarchy
I knew I saw
them from somewhere but I just don’t know where.
I have
reached the castle covered with diamonds and gems
As a old man
approaches me and greeted me with a hug
“Welcome
back my Queen” he said
“Oh you can
call me Jenny!” I said
“Jenny! I
have never heard of that name in a long run!” he smiled
What does he
mean?
Oh my! Did I
forget to listen to Chris again?
“I am sorry
to ask but may I know who are you?”
“Silly child
I am the King of this kingdom?”
“Oh my, are
you?”
“Of course
not, do you really think we could make a good couple?”
“Hah! I’m
just a bit curious!”
“I guess you
have been sleeping on a very long time”
“Sleeping?
What do you mean?”
“Chris
haven’t you explained everything to her?”
“I did sire!
But I guess the young Queen is not paying attention on me”
“Come my
dear, I need your full attention on this”
As I entered
into the palace walls,
It was
covered with ice and snow,
As the gold
and silver combined into snowflakes patterns
And the
diamonds and gems served as the Knights and Shinning armor of the palace.
It was
shinning as bright as a star
It was so
magical
All I can
feel is warmth and satisfaction
I have been
in this place before
But I just
don’t know how
“Trying to
remember something my Queen?” the King asked
“This place
is just so delightful, from the knights to the walls to the pink throne!
This is so
amaze!” I said cheerfully
“Of course,
you made this!” the king said
“Huh? Okay!
I guess I am day dreaming to much!
Can you
please pinch me so that I could wake up?
My mom’s not
going to be pleased if she finds out I’m dreaming again”
And he
pinched me from my left arm
“Ouch!”
“See you’re
not dreaming my queen” Chris said.
“Okay, since
you don’t believe about what you are seeing,
This is your
palace. You made this all by yourself.
You said
that this is the dream that you always wanted
That people
surrounds you is different from the actual world.”
“I’m a bit
confused? What are you saying I made this?”
“You’re
inside your dreamscape Jenny”
Dreamscape,
what in the world am I doing here?
What is he
saying I built this place?
I never had
the creativity in me to do something like this
And the
creatures outside this castle walls,
Are all my
doing?
How can that
possibly be?
“Dreamscape
is where your dreams are written
It is a
place between the real world and the fantasy
It’s a place
where dreamers like you call it a sanctuary
Everything
you see in here encompasses your own dreams” the king explained
“Ammm I
still don’t understand,
Does this
mean that you, he and everything in this place is unreal?”
“Yes my dear
Queen” the king smiled
“But how
does that happen?”
“Like I said
this is your dreamscape,
You created
all of us in your dreams.
Let’s make
it a little easy for you to understand”
He took a
small notebook in his pocket
“See this;
I’m going to turn one drawing into reality”
A large lion
sprouted from the notebook
I freeze; I
can’t move the lion that was once chasing me
Is actually
in front of me
All I see is
anger in his eyes
He’s going
to hit me with his paws
My Queen
And slow
motion was seen onto my very eyes,
The lion from
the notebook is going to kill me
But Chris
saved me; he didn’t care if he’s going to get hurt
He was
embracing me
And all I
did was to cover my face in his jacket.
“Appregiosentomaso!” A spell that could stop movement
“I’m sorry
my queen for scaring you,
It’s not my
intention
I just
wanted you to see what you have created.” The king said
I look up to
Chris, slowly stand up
“What I
created? You made this lion get out of his notebook
And this is
what I have done? What are you talking about?”
Tears just
came out from my eyes
“The lion
have seen fear in your eyes,
It
manipulated the way it moves
Like I said
you are in your dreamscape
What you
think is what you actually see?
You see the
lion in a threatening phase
And didn’t
see its heart
You are what
you dream
And this
lion is what your fears are”
He took the
small notebook once again
And burn it
with his own hands
Little by
little together with the burning notebook
The lion who
was once fearless burn like a piece of paper.
“To add up,
once your dream is been touched by someone else
Just like
this notebook it will all burn down to failures and sufferings
But it is up
to you to change it
That no
matter how many people tried stealing your dreams you should hold on to it”
I was
stunned with what I have heard
I wanted to
cry so much but I know it wouldn’t help the situation
I am trap in
my own dreams
And I am
here to save it? From who?
Who is he
referring to someone?
How can I
escape my own fate?
I once look
at the king
And look
back at Chris
They are the
only humans in this place
The rest are
all mere fantasies
Is it true
that I made them?
That by the
time someone touches them
They would
forever be forgotten
“How can I
survive in this place?”
I asked the
king
“Without any
fear from the heart my child
You can
surpass all the obstacles that will be going your way.
Like I said
this is your dreamscape
You can
change things on your own way”
I looked
down as I walk out of the castle
Studied each
and every one I made
Their joys
and happiness
It’s all
heartwarming
I don’t want
to ruin this kingdom
Because I am
always frightened
As the clock
ticks at 5pm
The pink
skies turn into dark and gloomy weather
The wind
whispered into our very soul
The black
silhouettes came out from nowhere
As the gem
and diamond knights released their swords
The
creatures started to aim with their arrows
The pirates
and the mermaid worked together as one
The fairies
covered the castle with shield
Everyone
circled around me to protect me
And there is
Chris and the King covering me with their bodies
What’s
happening I scream?
But no one
had ever heard me.
“Well, well,
well, look who has come back into the castle walls?”
