Somewhere I Called Paradise

Somewhere I called Paradise


A voyage that starts in one dreary way
The heart felt gloomy, mind got glum
Though the eye sees an outside heaven
An angel dances hypnotizing in some way

The land I stared, in dreams I never knew
Trees evergreen, sky, never been that blue
The disbelief be thrown no longer exist
Enchanted, hath seek for pleasure!

Fear I posses yet I don’t heed
The freshness f air lingers in within
Falling leaves blown by the wind
Far down in the water of crystal spring

Floating and engulfing a heart of nothingness
I can’t bear to hear the song of a nightingale
It lavished upon my head and fantasy
Bliss I enjoyed like a home that hungers me

I bestowed it, letting my hand write a poem
A writer shouting forlorn! Forlorn!  
Judas, don’t make it insane!
Imbibe it’s beauty, please love it..

I thought death will cause pain 
But freedom in thy land like god’s vow
It’s never a dream to wake me from sleep
Standing in realm, and never thought of a paradise..

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
