There's a place of which I often dream A place where folks say what they mean Where hate and jealousy are never seen A place where love never turns green A place where tortises mingle with hares A place where we're always blissful, yet always aware We're naked as newborn babes and noby cares This world of mine is just a place where..... And in my lovers eyes dwell jewels divine In this place I am not the swine Its a place where I can go back in time Undo the damage wrought on me and mine Butterfly kisses he bestows on my cheeks I close my eyes, there's no need to speak Perfection is here...no cracks, no leaks It's a place to run from an existence so bleak Its a place where exotic birds will flock A place that eats away the shock With the freedom of a drifting boat undocked It's a secret place that I unlocked It's a place that's home to unicorns And caribou with velvet horns I have nothing left to mourn It's a place where I'm happy I was born It's a place where I am welcome and loved A place where I am never shoved Where I'm not a left hand in a right glove A place where I'm peaceful, and free as a dove A place thats kissed in golden light A place where noone ever fights A place where I am always right A place where everythings beautiful, day or night And then I come down [This message has been edited by Systematic Decay (edited 09-20-1999).] |

and now you are on your way up again..  HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 09-20-1999).] |

And with my help too you are back up again!!: Your place of longing sounds lovely, I'd like to go there too!!: ------------------ Words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels. ~Isis~ |

Thanks for trying to cheer me up...however the poem is and isn't meant from my point of view...... what I mean is that I often do dream of a place like this but it will never happen in this world...the only way to get such euphoria is drugs..... And thats the point I was making.....about drugs, and how people use them to run from their troubles, that no matter how great the high, there is always a low, and the higher the high, the lower the low. Now that I think about it.....this is an apt description for anything in life, love, a roller coaster, a new puppy....anything |
