Hey there!

This is not exactly a fanfiction but an original poem inspired by multiple works of one of my favorite authors: Neil Gaiman. The original works I reference belong to him (and Terry Pratchett). Thanks for reading!


Worlds Within Worlds

Inspired by the works of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Of Preludes and Nocturnes

Talking cats and lovers spurned

While we fragile dreamers yearn

For forever and ever after

Through a crack in the wall

Or a mirror that falls

Or a door that nobody sees

Lies the spider's key

In the fey forest, the wise do not tread

Among the graves of the friendly dead

Old gods die and new gods rise

Beware there always is a price

Islington awaits below Down Street

And Death opens her arms for thee

While serpent and angel with fiery sword

Await the coming of their lord

And who art thou among these glories?

A teller of some old ghost stories?

A child more than what they seem?

A tired man afraid to dream?

In the world of man where is magic?

Should waking up feel so tragic?

For in the shadows and echoes lie

The terrible All-Father's missing eye

Of Preludes and Nocturnes

Talking cats and lovers spurned

While we fragile dreamers yearn

For forever and ever after
