Enchanted Forest

The forest opened its doors

To lure in unwary travellers.

Purple trees swayed in the wind

Yellow apples grew in trunks

Green snakes hanged from trees

Black flowers formed carpet.

Friendly snakes

Welcomed travellers.

Trees strolled along

Offering solace.

Apples grinned at them

Flowers pricked at feet.

People entering the forest

Forgot the world outside.

Magic spells kept them chained.

They ambled around mesmerised.

Forest paths led no where

The world was upside down.

Doors to the outside life

Closed for them.

Lost people found their way in

They never came back.

Life becomes stationary

In the forest.

Time remains frozen.

Days repeated themselves

Nights were endless.

Magic forest

Slumbers in eternity.
