Romance

into the wind we shall
dance footsteps light
by the fairy dust trail

our palms melt into
each other's, a sign
of our souls becoming another

our eyes a sparkle-
a twinkle of magic, inside
we turn to butterflies


i ask you now
before this marks
the end of heaven within

if you would run
away with me, with me
from this broken place

never to return without
each other, or the silence
from a love-filled stare


i did not write this. ripped it off from the page of a friend's. it's stuff that makes you imagine, inspires you, makes you momentarily experience and live in the image that your mind conjures up. something not of this world, maybe somewhat magical, mystical, or poetic. music, art, poetry....it takes you to another world..another realm. i just need a bit of that once in a while. maybe, as a child, reading such a lot trained me to imagine, to recreate that scene in my mind, and to live in it. maybe, it's the feeling of having childlike wonder all over again. of being in a world that you make it up to be. maybe that's part of the reason why i love being out in the forests, by the streams..the closest things in this world to what, to my mind, is paradise. it just makes you feel alive and in touch with yourself. sometimes, i try to look for that lil bit of magic or soul in the world, in relationships, in people. maybe it's too idealistic to want to find it..or maybe, if or when you do find it, it turns out to be something unstable, unrealistic. so i guess a little bit is enough. it's enough for me to chance upon things like that once in a while. accidental discoveries that catch you with surprise with the rush of inspiration and aliveness that it brings. that takes you back to the less-visited and sometimes forgotten world of your mind's place of refuge.
maybe i'm just babbling on incoherently and disjointedly, but i'm just trying to put into words what i feel. but words are often times an inadequate conveyor of the surge of the mix of thoughts and emotions that fights to be expressed.
i guess that's it for now.
