Once upon a time in a land far away
I gaze out at the calm crystal sea
The soft gentle breeze tousles my hair
When I hear footsteps approach from behind me
~
I hold up my long dress to get up to look
Then turn around to see who is there
My heart leaps, I blush ferociously
As our eyes meet and then locks in a stare
~
Stood before me is him, the guy of my dreams
As he slowly walks over towards me
His eyes on mine, he takes hold of my hand
Then I melt in his arms uncontrollably
~
All of a sudden I find myself falling
As I tumble back into reality
I crash to the ground with an almighty bump
Away from my romantic sweet fantasy
~
When not in the imaginary world of a writer
Creative me is in real life at home
The mundane jobs that go on forever
As I tackle them all on my own
~
Then tomorrow begins another day
When I return to my laptop to type
When the fantasy world kicks in again
For the lady who just loves to write

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

such a lovely piece, well done
Freaking brilliant, Hazel. This represents the life of a writer so well! The pages before us represent infinite possibilities and a slice of life we often enjoy only within the confines of our writings. Thanks for penning and sharing this marvelous poem!
AWESOME!
Outstanding.
Oh, this is beautiful. I can so relate to waiting just to dive back into the fantasy world you're writing. π
Beautiful poem.
