More Than a Fairy Tale

There were elements
Of alchemy
Throughout the house ~
The very air was filled
With mystery ~

And in the darkness ~
Deeper shadows lurked
And moved ~
Hinting of matters
Sacred and profane ~

Of secrets too long kept
And far too dangerous ~
Ever to see
The light of day ~

I don’t know
What drew me in ~
How I came to be
Standing as if
Mesmerized ~
But I sense that
It is time
For me to go ~

What was I thinking ~
I should never have
Unlatched the door ~

But as I reach for it
The handle turns ~
And slowly the door
Opens inward toward me ~

And I know my fate
Is sealed ~

Born in a small, Illinois log cabin . . . No, that won’t work. The pampered only child of incredibly wealthy parents . . . No, that won’t fly either. Raised by French nuns after her aristocratic parents were beheaded . . . No, that’s been done! Got it: An East Coast transplant to the Pacific Northwest, this notoriously late bloomer began her new life with a new career as a writer and blogger. She has taken to both the new location and the career move like a duck to water. Writing is a new adventure, and our intrepid risk-taker is diving in, feeling right at home and making new friends. Reached for comment, she replied, “Okay, I wrote my bio, now may I Please go out and play?” We expect great, or perhaps merely more coherent, things from this writer. (Okay, that’s a wrap. What a wacko!)

  3. My image was of a large lion headed man who walked through the opened door. On his head was a crown tilted at a rakish angle . After looking around the room he began growling “Welcome to my home.”

  5. Playing detective. Not a spoiler. But I have a theory. Did she become one with the house once she opened it up to enter? The house is frightening. To be absorbed by a house, is scary. This is the fantasy I draw from your mystical words. You did magic. Creating a plane of existence beyond this one. I wonder why the image of this house should be so disturbing & make one think of ghosts & death? Great writing. Fun imagining but I am not so certain it is all in our imaginations. 😉

    • Hello, the secret keeper. No, I don’t believe the house ate her. I don’t do houses that eat people. Maybe I should do a sequel – from the other side of the door. I’ll have to think about it. If I do, I’ll let you know. 🙂
