Nymph In A Dark Forest

 
you took me to the dark forest
where the trees
were twisted & stunted
their roots ran deep
but they drank from fetid waters
 
no leaves adorned their branches
neither shade or relief  
from the scorching sun
 
they were an eye sore
to all that beheld them
 
they bore poisonous fruit
that would cause delirium  
beguiled & under your spell
 
I thought myself in lush place
where I could restore myself
 
all the while the sun beat down on me
as it emptied my soul
my screams of madness echoed  
through this desolate place
 
& reached the ears
of the king of this realm
he took pity on me
freed me from the delusions
 
brought me to the great woodlands
of my childhood
 
where I could roam naked & free
a wild nymph of the forests
child of the moon
my soul renewed
