Spellbound

Quiet room with lit candles
I open my eyes
a vision begin to appear
surrounding me
I try to recall
yet it is futile

It is definitely not now
and definitely not the past
ruins, debris
wreckage, destruction
land and sea merge
crimson sky of flames
ashes floating in the air
what is going on?

A moment ago
in mediation mode
and now I am here
remembering nothing
and bonded to the destruction
where am I?
why am I here?

The darkness drag
the vision into it and
vanish into thin air
I am back in
the quiet room with the lit candles
once again…

I used to heard it from a friend long time ago, that in the ancient time, there used to be a spell which you have to mediate which can let you time travel to anytime you like but your physical self still remains in the original place somehow. It is sort of like an illusion/dimension which you will be able to enter yet you can still come back to your physical body when the time limit is up. Hope you guys enjoy this poem.

This is an entry to Writers’ Island Prompt #15 – Spellbound.

  5. Sounds like the peacefulness of medition, always a good thing. Delightfully written… and I have woken up a few times not knowing where I am, lol.

    • hmmm sounds like sleep walking to me:O I used to have them last time when I dream deeply until a situation whereby it got kind of serious but lucky in the end, I manage to overcome that, ending up I need to go in two hours earlier before I can really sleep :S

  6. That remind me a scene for the film “Almost Famous”: “Listen Tommy at the light of a candle and you can see your future….”
    Nice film and ….. nice poem (^_^)

  7. Intriguing poem. I enjoyed your explanation as well.

    • :D Thank and it is a miracle i remembered the past and started writing on this, i have a friend long time ago in the past who indulged herself in all sort of spells and witchery stuffs, hasn’t heard from her since so many years already though. We are really close during my childhood years and she liking telling me all these weird things about magic, spells and witchcraft, I am pretty fascinated and thought she was actually a witch lol XD but then we list contact when i went over to Korea to stay for 2 years, it is kind of pity to lose a good friend like this =<

    • :D Thank you Mary, and thank for stopping by, if there is a chance I suppose everyone wish to either go back to the past or the future to know what really happen and changes in their life, they can come back to the present to change some stuffs. If only we can do it and then everything will have be fantastic!=D
