I visited heaven one silent cool winter day I saw you there awaiting my arrival, such a vision of tenderness. You were wrapped in satin sheets I could hear your heartbeat talk I reached for you and you smiled. felt like I was in a timeless stream I was king, you were my queen the image filled with spirit But, beyond elegance you looked afraid. Suddenly! I was struck with shock as the best of my friends, appeared quoting the bard's black MacBeth holding a sword above your neck..... demanding I give up your sacred beauty to him I reached for you across a canyon of expanse I screamed to protect you....! as streams of blood splashed up into my face I woke up! beside my favourite girl. You gave me a wily smile and reached to stroke my face, long strokes, long and smooth, full of lazy love. All our years you'd proved yourself a lady loyal. You whispered in my ear, familiar words, you said, "come to me, I'm going crazy!" I pulled you to my chest and kissed your words into silence I was going crazy! or was this still a dream? at this point I manage to know I'm raising up to roam your meadow, so this can't be a dream, as I pressed hard against you, again I heard you say, "come to me, I'm going crazy." I could feel the flames of passion devouring my thighs as your velvet skin lay exposed before me the fire within blazing hot! A droopy eyed smile filled your face. Then you cascaded into my arms, your sweet flavoured lips against mine.... suddenly I hear you loud and clear, "THE KIDS ARE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" and I wake up and see you, my favourite girl...sporting a crooked grin "The kids are late for school!" you say in a lower tone.. now laughing, as if you knew, where we'd just been. |

Perfect title and prophetic poem... and if one doesn't end up grinning at the end of this, then they have no common sense whatsoever!  |
