Poppy Field

#PoppyField

Don't fall, I say, don't fall

With honeyed words

With treacherous embraces

With false hopes and promises

But what if it's all real

The soft voice that soothes

The smile filled with warmth

The hands that won't let go

Yet with a single snap it could change

The rose garden into grimy woods

The little brook into menacing river

The lush field into dead desert

But what if it will last

The poppy field that blooms

Sleep under the comfort of winter

To bloom again in the spring

The shards cut me deep

From the glass slippers I've donned

From the miles I've walked

From the self I hate

Yet here's the poppy field beckon me

And I don't want to wait anymore

I don't want to cower anymore

I can't run away anymore

It will be up in flame any minute

But maybe it wont, maybe it'll be ok

Maybe I will find what I am looking for

Hello Poppy Field, how are you?
