- Eddie Fogler
I may I might
Every night I wait
for you to see me first.
I would build for you kingdoms
in however few
or many fars:
forests of different appeals
filled with sugar-treated cottages,
or lockable towers
behind guarded castles.
I would provide for you friends,
creatures with a magical flair:
a lion,
a tiger,
or fashionable mice,
talking fish,
or opinionated furniture.
I would conjure for you evil
to add in a little more drama:
a starved wolf,
unruly queen,
scheming stepmother
or sorcerer,
or just a basic
witch.
I would write for you lyrics
to sing in both good and bad times;
maybe a curse or a spell
with truly lovely loopholes:
anything as long as it rhymes.
I would enchant for you items,
things to keep you unique:
temperamental porridge
or restless peas,
a hood,
a sword,
or a nice pair of shoes.
I would find for you heroes,
whether you need them or not:
a prince,
a princess,
or flashy knight,
ancestors or fairies
of various relations,
anyone to help make the ending,
after everything,
happy.
When you see me first,
tell me your wish,
and I will create
your story.
