I am afraid
to wish for
permission
me in love with you...

I am afraid
I'd get the wish
granted with
such fortitude

that it would be
a monkey's paw
does desire have to pay?

I'm so afraid
of karmic law--
I worry of the path I lathe...

I want to be a warrior.
I yearn to travel forest deep.
I want to know what I live for--
I dream to dream, outside of sleep...

Take me through this Hobbit hole--
and slake my mead, and haunt my dreams...
I want to be a warrior--
and damn the monkey's drunken screech.

too long

I had forgotten about this one, and I thank Maureen for reminding me...(I write some odd things in a fever sometimes) but it helps to know the tale of the monkey's paw--and although there doesn't seem to be a great deal of interest, here's a link, for what it is worth:

Serenity,
The monkey's paw does chill the mind
But you my dear were never blind.
