Let’s run away to Ireland.
We day dream… then dream… then day dream again…
But we could just sell all of our possessions –
or at least the ones we never use.
Buy two one-way tickets to the Emerald Isle
with our music and our bliss – no ticket price for either.
We’ll be the neighborhood performing duo
in some small dive…
Every week…
And all our neighbors would like us.
We’d invite them over for tea all of the time.
They'd call us charming, we’d call them great.
We’d think of the world as lovers
and spread delight through the simple things.
I’d always save my softest touch for you
and play with your hair as slowly as it grows.
Like a fly mounted on the wall,
I’d take it all in as bigger than me
and be content to watch you sleep.
When we wake, we’ll make silly faces
at the sun – to make it laugh along to our joy.
No more missing you…
One hundred times as much kissing you…
An eight-hour flight…
We’d be there before tomorrow.
Think about it.

Love.

The Emerald Isle is, herself, a lover. I think though, that you will find your mate a far more beautiful lover.

Goddess grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

oh_ok:  I spent a wonderful two years in Ireland, and would recommend it to anyone.  Sounds like you have a plan.  Now is all we have at the present time, so go for it.  Loved this positive and upbeat love song.  Thank you.

Don't take a tour bus. My wife and I made that mistake.
They take you so shops to buy things.
They get a kick back for this from the shop owners.
Just fly there and rent a car and travel around yourselves.
Lovely poem, dear. keep writing.

this entire piece contained a bunch of lines that were awe inducing

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.
