I haven't the means to travel
Yet a vacation is in sight
It starts with my creative mind
I will set sail tonight

My thoughts are busy packing
Silk dresses on the bed
My dancing shoes fall into place
Anticipation lies ahead

The limosine rolls up the drive
Curving around the bend
Champagne on ice, a mystery man
Is what imagination sends

We breeze along the highway
Beneath a starlit sky
The cruise ship docked and waiting
I feel like I could fly

I step onto the platform
The captain waves hello
He motions go to first class
You will enjoy the show

Rooms filled with entertainment
Free-will whets my appetite
I foretaste the dry martini
And rejoice into the night

Enchantment lies before me
My vacation dream made real
I float away to ecstacy
Forever cherishing
How I feel

great poem i loved the last part how you said it was made real. but if by ecstacy you mean the drug in the furture that will mess you up. which i hope you make the right choice and stop. well if thats what you mean.

I like your poem. I've heard of that drug and in reading this, I knew you didn't mean the drug...must be a generational thing.

(Where in blazes was I on July 1st that I missed this one too?)  This is super, Deb.  I was right there with you...and wishing I really was.  What a nice trip you took me on....even if we didn't do the drug Exctasy.  Hardrock

What a beautiful poem Deb!
Really lovely.
Really imaginative.
I wish you could have it for real!
And don't worry, it definitely doesn't have a drug ring, and certainly not an E one.
Dreamy: yes.
Druggy: no.
