curiosity

need

fear

a confluence
of emotions
culminating
in once frenetic
goal

the door
on top
of the faerie wing
spiral staircase
of ivory

three desperate
naked
emotions

where do
three separate paths
converge
except
in absolute chaos

the hero
clawing his way
to the sunlight
that was but
a flickering star
in the distance
none too long ago

the witch
that strives forward
into the forest
to wrest
the hidden secrets
for her own
nefarious end

and
the scared princess
hiding
in the willow tree
holding her teddy bear
close to her chest
unaware
of the key
hidden
where it’s heart
should be
