~this sorta sux but hey i hope ya enjoy it !~

I drift…
I drift away
Beyond time, beyond a place, beyond people
I see only what I want to
I look over the hate, the stress, the troubles of life
Memories come into mind but they are pushed back
Don’t think, do not think
While I drift I hear faint voices in the distance,
But they only become fainter
I see visions, my paradise
There’s a beach, white sand, crystal clear water
My mind and eyes come back into focus
I realize that the crystal clear water was really your icy blue eyes
I never drift for long,
And I imagine I never will
The busy rustling and bustling of life will always catch up
So I go along with you
Go through another day
Just to fall asleep in your arms and dream…
But in reality I never dream, I only drift

I loved this, you have all these very distinct images and those not so distinct images which are left to the readers imagination, good piece of work

Nicely done. i thought you expressed your thoughts quite well. This drift, I like it. Quite sad, but still.




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
