It’s been long since I gave Narnia a visit or even a thought, guess I’m helping myself to understand that Prince Caspian is married to his kingdom, and never shall he be, to me. Narnia is such a wonderful place to be, there’s just so much to see and so many to with be. But to help myself, for the past days I have refrained for opening the wardrobe. It would only be better if the spark’s put off before the fire ablaze.
But in my quest to ride horses off the new king, I came across his brother.
Oh, who can resist those brown eyes?
Who’s bound to miss those red rose lips – that eloquence and charm?
That angel curved smile – who is bound to let pass?
It was a banquette and I came as a hungry lion, ready to devour and ignore the world around. But there he came, and so did Narnia with him. The doors opened and the sun shone, with it the warmth and the blue sky where the birds sang as the wind blew passionately, caressing the flowers and the trees; devotedly begging each and every creature to hymn attune.
And so, I was swept away by this young prince. Head over heels.
Narnia came all so sudden that I didn’t even have the chance to prepare, not a chance at all to catch my breath. And so while the senses are high, I rode on. Just today we went to the outskirts and shared another banquette. He was just like the first instance I saw him, an apparition, a phantom that I would never want to miss. His being a breath away from my skin turned everything around us into a theater. The orchestra joined my singing heart and so did the forest and the dwellers.
Suddenly, it’s warmer than before. The sun dances even more graciously now, the plants and the creatures sing just in tune with my heart’s fast beating.
Oh, Narnia, my fair Narnia, stop for a while, unthaw time and let this linger. Allow me to savor every detail; consent to me to satiate my heart. Even just for now, I beg thee, halt and halt forever.
Oh mister lamp, don’t you ever weather in the nights to come, guide me as I wait for every falling star to fall and whisper my heart’s wish. Guide me as I stay tardy and dream of him with my open eyes.
Allow me, just now that I am still asleep.
