Kaleidoscope Eyes
~
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
sailing along with the moon in your eyes
Following dreams found to make your heart quiver
with tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
counting the words in between all your sighs
Seeing her face and it captures you wholly
a girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
with waters so clear as your sprits arise
Climbing each step up a marzipan mountain
where rocking-horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
wearing the wings of a young butterfly
Tickling tulips on top of the towers
that grow so incredibly high
Picture yourself on a train in a station
where magazines offer a travel surprise
As luggage arrives in your imagination
with plasticine porters with looking-glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
your heart skips a beat in the autumn sunrise
Dreams all come true as she sends you a smile
the girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Inspired by the poem Strawberry Fields Forever written by Jennifer Proxenos
Her use of Beatles song lyrics woven into her wonderful poem intrigued me.
So I thought I would try my own using lyrics from The Beatles,
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.
The first and last lines in each stanza are from their song, in order
