Edged along the cliff
in dreamscapes I am captured
a fortress high above the hills
remote in my imagination
the queen of my own castle
adorns a crooked crown.

Near and dear perfection
deflects a freedom from all fault
a trail through the meadows
lies a secret hideaway
that leads so faraway from home.

Basking in my dreams
I gaze across the sea
cradled in the setting sun
cast out among the stars
where everything is set aside
save a place for you.

Skimming through the water
kicking up a splash
floating as I glide
slipping from the pool  
privately retreating
through the clearing of my mind.

In the shade of my cabana
I nip and nibble from the sweetness
forbidden is the fruit
nourishing my needs
a la luncheon Shangri-La
upon your passion that I feed.

Cooled by the breezes
wrapping all around me
I hear the silence of your footsteps
on granite stones that echo
I long to see you there
and breathe you deeply in the air.

Roses from my garden
cut and placed in every window
along the breezeway down the halls
winding through the passageways
where I can bare it all.

I linger there anticipating
in the twilight gleaming graced
glowing in the candle light
a shadowed silhouette
in dreams of Shangri-La.
