A Series Of Mixed Emotions

Wishes in a dream
Pennies shine in a fountain
Ankle deep in love

Leaning into words
Just thinking before drinking
Nectar of the gods

No one to deny
Those days are dead behind me
Easy to get old

Harder to stay young
Take whats yours and leave the rest
I want my life back

Write in subtle tones
Believing every word
Not the poker chips

Look up from your sleep
What do you see above you?
Lanterns in the sky

Glowing like my eyes
Warming the cold in my heart
Each time you wake me

Drifting back to sleep
Humming a sweet lullaby
Fairy-dust slumbers

It ain't easy bein' me, for you or for me.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Wonderful series of emotions, dear Mr. Martini, so beautifully structured and profoundly captivating.

I haven't added anything to my library in a long time, this one deserves to be read more than once. It vibrates and talks vividly.

oh, and no, as you say "it ain't easy to be me ...." but aren't you just lucky to express your emotions like this?!

'It ain't easy bein' me, for you or for me."

Im going to steal that phrase, 'cause it fits me.
