Utopia
Spellbound inside a castle of light
Twinkling stars on tapestries outside
Emerald horses flying in ecstasy
Plum mulberry sunset curling in violet sunrise
Galaxies ensnare bubbling stories at nights
Blushing clouds flying to waterfalls of dew
Where ancient scars dissolve into void
And God will bless our innocent souls
This picture of heaven since I was a child
Remained with me until I stepped outside
The road I traverse reminds me of home
Amid the existence I strive to create
Splashes of peach in a tranquil courtyard
Lyrical verses in melodies of chirping cuckoos
Grandpa's armchair boasting as my grand throne
Grandma brought cookies bubbling with love
Mama's cushioned disdain entwined secret praises
Daddy took me far into parallel universes
Your sheepish smile at my naive questions
Wrapping me in your blanket of divine love
The stories we created under the starlit roof
Windows reflecting Jasmine bushes swaying to bedside
That corner behind the ancient mahogany tree
Where leaves rattled in rain and breathed under snow
Turned pale and crimson at our clicks of words
On laps of dewdrops seeping scintillation of years
Exploring distant lands to delve deep into minds
A land I dream of cocooned with bliss
The palatial abundance of being together
With memories I cherish and days to celebrate
Is nothing less than the heaven that exists
In clouds I believe afterlife will be like this.
