In Case We Never Meet Or Met and Never Knew

IN CASE WE NEVER MET OR MET AND NEVER KNEW, THIS POEM IS WRITTEN FOR YOU.

YOUR ARE MY BEAUTIFUL, REALISTIC, BUT SLIM POSSIBILITY

A STRANGER PLACED SOMEWHER IN THE WORLD, WHERE I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE FEATURES OF YOUR FACE, THE TEXTURE OF YOUR HAIR, AND THE COMPLEXION OF YOUR SKIN-

A BEAUTIFUL PERSON I IMAGINE ON THE OUTSIDE AS WELL AS WITHIN 

YOU ARE A JOY I MAY NEVER HAVE, A LOVE I MAY NEVER KNOW, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE PLACES TOGETHER WE MAY NEVER GO

I SOMETIMES WONDER, ARE YOUR THOUGHTS LIKE MINE-

COULD YOU BE THINKING THE SAME THINGS I'M THINKING LIKE WHERE AM I

YOUR ARE MY "SUPPOSED TO" BUT MAY NEVER BE

WHERE MY FOOTSTEPS MAY NEVER LEAD

YOU ARE MY BEATIFUL, REALISTIC, BUT SLIM POSSIBILITY

Honestly I can only read a few and when 
I do my creative thinking flies right out 
the window from illness weight loss pills  
acne toe fungus to the dread of depressions 
with flowers in the head seems to be watching 
my every move some kind of artificial intelligence 
waiting for thoughts to emerge I began scratching 
my own head wondering if I have an entire 
garden growing inside my skull like one 
of those old toilet seats filled with weeds 
pondering about the entrance way to old 
man Miltons farm leading straight to an
abandoned bathtub covered with soil and 
fresh cut daisies I like daisies I suppose 
I'll plant a few outback until my writers 
block ends stop that day dreaming gal 
are you going mad no sir just a bit 
drained after indulging in so many ads.

Premium Member Imagining Arcadia

Where is this peaceful utopia of infinite wonder
 I've heard much about? I've followed the call of echoes,
and I've searched far and long into the wilderness
I've looked through the haze of morning mist
and peeked through apertures pierced by sunlight

I've relied on the wind for directions, but they blew me 
every which way. I've searched the four corners 
of my dreams, to no avail. Morpheus, will you kindly 
take me there? I just want to briefly get away 
from this world gone mad.

Take me to Arcadia to tour the majestic sights on the back
 of a satyr, to soar the peaceful sky with the faeries, 
to gaze at the stars there at midnight. Isn't this a place 
where the rainbow never leave the sky? I want to know
what the zephyr there feels like!

I want to see the place where bliss and beauty reign supreme.
Isn't this also a place where friends and foes, fools and kings
all harmoniously co-exist? Isn't this a place where the wheels 
of pleasant dreams are spun? Take me there, won't you,   
Morpheus? It haunts my imagination, and how.

Premium Member Moonlit Xanadu

Last night, I dreamed a dream I'd never forget
When my tired eyes sealed shut at the tail-end of dawn 
Morpheus spirited me away to a moonlit Xanadu; a sanctuary
Of beauty and peace. What a dream! It was my safe haven 
For an entire day. I had fun!  I wish I'd revisit again and again

There, all the troubles of the world are non-existent
It's an otherworldly getaway I wish you'd see for yourself
Akin to an Elysian field; absolutely captivating!
You'll be overwhelmed by a multiplicity of dazzling sights
At dawn, butterflies were fluttering in clusters

Over the field, as if all whispering secrets to each other
Hummingbirds were hovering from one bloomed flower to another
And I danced with the nymphs under the afternoon sun
On an elevated tree stump, I sat as though it were my throne
 What a view!  I could see the gorgeous scenery for miles

There, at twilight, fireflies swarmed the firmament generously
The stars were sparkling like diamonds, and birds were tweeting 
Just for me. Moonlight shimmered on a small pond; fishes  
Swimming under all happy and carefree. What a dream it was!  
I wish you were there with me, my true...

Premium Member Meet Me In Avalon

Can you envision us lost in a world
          of ours; paradise built by the Gods
      just for us two? Would you taste with me
              a delectable slice of heaven?
             Picture us astride upon satyrs...

  exploring a mythical, enchanted land, drifting
        our way across it like dandelion seeds.
     Perchance we'd gambol about the verdure
       with carefree abandon, tasting freedom 
      with salivating tongues as we shout "Olé!"

     Perchance we'd take flight with the faeries
   and hum a tune from nightingales, or just lie 
in delightful tranquility beneath a weeping willow, 
 swept off by a soothing breeze. Or we could just 
         quietly bask in the bright midday sun!

            Can you imagine passionate kisses
      under a cascading waterfall with a rainbow 
     hovering right above it? Can you imagine us
        lying on a swinging hammock gazing at
        diamonds littered in skies of blackboard?

        Can you imagine these embarrassment
       of riches? Let's take this great adventure! 
       Let us discover the true meaning of bliss!
                     Baby, close your eyes
                           and meet me...

                              in Avalon!

Premium Member Cannon Lee

The ocean shatters on the banks of my despair
where I stand above the cliffs in mournful yearning there,
amid the thunder and the lightning
that cracks the black of night
I curse the rocks below that took his precious life.
 
Oh Cannon Lee, Oh Cannon Lee!
 
my merman of the sea,
so beautiful a creature the world has never seen.
To gaze upon his beauty is to wake up in a dream
and drift forever in those tranquil eyes of green,
those dreamy eyes of my darling Cannon Lee.
 
I met him on the shore of Evermore
where he lay upon the rocks, his tail torn,
battered by the raging storm, so cold and so forlorn,
dying in the wake of early morn.
 
I wrapped myself around him, beneath my ermine cape,
and felt his shallow breath upon my tear-stained face
as he took me with a kiss
to his land beneath the sea,
the only place where he could ever live and breathe.
 
Visions of Atlantis were painted in my mind,
a castle on a cliff where liquid valleys wind
amid the blue and green
and all the shades of light that fall between,
the difference of awake and in a dream.
 
And in that final hour
his heart began to beat as mine,
and I knew for evermore that I would never find
a love so deep, complete and so divine
as the love that stole my heart, my soul, my mind,
my darling Cannon Lee.
 
And now I stand upon the cliff of Evermore,                
and fall into those dreamy eyes of green once more.
