Temporary Paradise

An extant place, some say a mythological place that only exists in the minds of fools. Nonsense! I have seen it with my own eyes. It is an intangible land that only grants access to those with integrity and that demonstrate great valor. A place so magnificently marvelous, where light prevails over darkness, good over evil, and peace over chaos. A beautifully serene world that I would describe as a little piece of heaven, but as everything, it too was susceptible and far from perfection. Sometimes maliciously astute egotists bypass the main gates of this world, with nothing but a selfish purpose. Such an ignominious act brings about a contagious plague turns the placid atmosphere of this world into an enigmatic one. The feeling this magical place induced in me is paradoxically ineffable. Unfortunately adversity squelched my hopes and dreams. A malevolently vicious serpent bypassed the gilded entrance and unluckily it targeted the love of my life. After copious amounts of cajolery, it successfully warped her mind with the poisonous words that came out of its mouth and persuaded her. I paid the unbearable price for this betrayal. I was painfully cast out and thrown into the dark, secluded realm of reality. Why? How?.. Now I wander this cold world, with solitude as my only companion, haunted by the nightmare that I live.
