Utopia
My mystical fairy exclaims~ there’s a place I know,
A dreamland of fantasy, exempt from human woe
Undisturbed by misery of tenebrous earthly throe
Where nightmares don’t exist, dreams come true
And moonlit dawns wallow as whispers of love woo
Blushing sun’s amber glow, scintillating cobalt blue.
She leads me on pathways paved in bricks of gold
Pointing to motifs of signs jeweled glamorously bold,
Evidence of affluence and prosperity citizens behold
Free from mortal worries, luxuriating life carefree
On lagoons and sandy beaches of paradisiacal sea
Where passions tango and romantic yearnings spree.
Lies are unheard in this land, truth is never blurred,
Vocabulary insists love is a precious, beloved word
As neither hate, nor bigotry, nor jealousies bemoan
For benevolence and compassion eminently atone
Offering misdeeds forgiveness as prayers seek solace
Sending imperfection to learn from sage of flawless.
Enticed by her charm, to elixir of ecstasy I’m drawn
Traversing unknown where no human has ever gone
In wonderland of opulence~ utopian, exotic, perfect,
Exuding eminence distinguished by esoteric intellect;
There, I’m awakened, hypnotized in kiss of goodbye
When despondent in illusion, my reality utters a sigh.
