Into the Forest
there was wilderness everywhere
dense of jade forests surrouned me
the picturesque landscapes reminded me
of the painting i had once hung
but when i remember the painting
those incredible laughters together
me and jimmy had shared, oh, oh
the living room always lit up in orange
i knew that Jimmy would come back
he had apprently decided we needed
a total break, so he can breath air
i didnt know what to do, all i knew
i only wanted him back, achingly
i miss him, like a duckling missing
his mama, and all the sorrows decided
to knock on my door when i woke up
and saw Jimmy’s note, i cried severely,
“Darling, i need time out, from us!
if you need anything, i am leaving
my card and car and the house to you!
Please dont come looking for me!”
one day as i was sipping grean and
lemon tea, i remembered, the painting
how jimmy used to say if he had to
disappear anywhere, he would go
into those lushy green mountains
and never ever come back to the
skyscrappers and monstrous city
my Jimmy was not a lunatic,
my Jimmy was brave like a
ferocious mountain lion, fierce, strong
his character was so impeccable,
admirable in his own right,
like a divine Lord Zeus, born into mortal
like a thunderbolt, his decisions like a
strategic magic, only weapons of words
i remember as i climb one more hill
“WHERE ARE YOU JIMMY!!!
PLEASE COME BACK TO SUZY!!!”
i stumble and i roll over the hill
i land on a bunch of lavender, oh, oh
so rich its scent like iam in nothern England
but i reminded myself that its Ireland
my Jimmy decided to disappear to, oh, oh
i get up and i suddenly see a cottage, small
but a volutpous one, with a neccessary
chimney, smoke billowing, a green
pumpkin patch with a cabbage garden
i breath in and i see a backpack, i gulp
the backpack belonged to Jimmy
i stand and wait for him to come out
and the door slowly opened, i smile
the smile that signified happiness
Jimmy appears and grins, he beckons
i ran to him and i hug him tight
“Oh, Jimmy, i missed you, you had to
leave me for this treacherous green Ireland?”
Jimmy laughs huskily and said solemnly
“Remember i wanted to disappear in the
painting, i didnt tell you its secret, honey!
I’m its painter...i paint anonymously!”
Jimmy opened the wooden door and
to my surprise i see paintings of green
landscapes, of forests and pumpkin patches
i hug Jimmy and i cried and punched him
“Why such a secret, i would have
understood and kept your secrecy!”
Jimmy replied, “When you find a secret
leprechaun and you stumble upon
your pot of gold, all you can think of
is how to be happy with your fortune!”
i realized that Jimmy’s green fortune
was indeed the greenery that basked
his imagination and his hands were the
artist that captured all flora and fauna!!!
