Fantasies Within

My fantasies alive and well;
these pleasing visions in my mind
that deep within my spirit dwell,

of sandy shores that cast their spell,
and lead to treasures that I find.
My fantasies alive and well,

and thoughts of love cause hearts to swell,
with passions which I seek to bind
that deep within my spirit dwell,

and urges feelings that compel
my inner being to unwind.
My fantasies alive and well,

these secrets buried in my shell,
and written in these rhymes you’ll find
that deep within my spirit dwell.

I bare to you, my soul I tell,
now closest secrets unconfined;
my fantasies alive and well
that deep within my spirit dwell.

This is so beautiful. Your thoughts caress the page with such elegance and grace. Within the heart- many moments linger. A dream. A fantasy. It is nice when thoughts drift to a magical place. :) Brandy
