Dream Spell
by Dorlana Vann

(Inspired by Midsummer Nights Dream)

She never knew where she’d go when she closed her eyes

Her deep dreams bewitched, and her sleeping soul stolen

Always to follow her love through tomorrow’s skies

Cursed by her own craft, ties deliberately woven.

“I place this herb where I have cried

Hopes of waking beside a new lover.

For now and eternity we’ll be tied

His true love for me he’ll soon discover.

Neither time nor distance will love divide

His heart will never beat for another.

Now sleep please find me before the new dawn

From which a charmed passion will truly spawn.”

The enchantment’s promise laced in bitter-sweet lies

He loved her before they met and days gone golden

Now they’re in yesterday’s forest, sweetly embraced

But when he wakes, memory of love is erased.
