Poem Title:
Poem
Today I managed to sneak into the realm of time Twenty years ahead to the dream I hoped to realise And yes, it really did come to life ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ I look up at the wall for the signs I hung When I was merely twenty four Now here I am, forty four and living it all The first sign I put up twenty years ago said ‘Day by day in every way, I am becoming more and more successful’ In the reality of these times that statement couldn’t be truer I have it all! If you want to know it’s true, just look beneath my soles My floor is made of gold! I look up at the other marble wall In the ruby frame are the words laced in crystals That ‘Every moment that lapses, gets me a step closer to my dreams’ Wow, what I a visionary I had been For yes, here I stand Three hundred and thirty three storeys above the ground I’m so high up I can wave and say hi to the angels on heaven’s doors I truly was an eagle after all and I’ve found my nest above it all The clouds below are so beautiful And the air hostesses wink at me as the plane zooms by And yes, I can see the world is really round I look up to the other wall, and next to its titanium beam I see The sign I put up twenty years back when I didn’t have money to even buy anything sweet It said then as it proclaims now... ‘We think and talk only of prosperity here’ That couldn’t be made clearer than by this reality here Prosperity in all I see and feel The banks I own have trouble storing all my gold And their computers have trouble controlling the trail of zeroes behind the digits of my money Wow! It’s all so nice But I’m still lonely What is it worth... all these here to have is there’s no smile to warm my heart I can have everything I want but a sincere soul to call mate How I wish for some pretty angel to love me Man, I have to go back fast, twenty years in history when all this was still a dreamer’s story Back then when I could strum it on a guitar hoping to be swayed by a darling who read my poems I have to go back fast, to set it all right For now I know this will all come to pass But it won’t be worth its touch without a family to fill my heart with love and pride Let me go twenty years back in time, And pray for fate to help me find, the true wealth my soul seeks The true happiness my heart needs
