Simply drift into this dream of mine.
The land is green and just as fine,
The people a mystery but just as kind.
Walk the trail and see the forest,
The ground is soft and just as porous.
The fruit is good and it sure does flourish,
The animals sing a song all in chorus.
Step along and we see the jungle,
Wrapped in lush vines all in bundle.
The monkeys dance and never fumble,
See the sights and you'll be humble.
For the next step I mostly travel alone,
This secret place is where I roam.
It has a lake that I made my home,
Upon this lake sits a large stone.
It's shores travel, too far to see,
It's a place, a place I soon will be.
A place so secret, there is no key,
I find myself there, and so is she.
A perfect catch for a crazy desire,
With beauty to match her eyes on fire.
If only I knew, I might inquire,
A sight of love with all too dire.
A desperation and fleeting all my own,
With passion aching a steady drone.
Her heart beating a soft rhythmatic tone,
Locked in a daze blissfully in my zone.
The sky rumbles the clouds go dark,
Lightning strikes it's announcing spark.
The wind blows and the birds depart,
Locked in a gaze we still stand apart.
I stand, an awkward silence all my own,
The rain falls, pattering a steady drone.
My chest pounding a quick rhythmatic tone,
Reluctant to step out of my comfort zone.
The last time I lost, my heart went dark,
I struggled to keep the love in spark.
This one I knew could just as well depart,
This must be what keeps me standing apart.
The storm rages as I lack the courage to simply step up,
On this island in my lake in this jungle I might erupt.
On my lake on my shore this water keeps out all that's corrupt,
So simply she stepped into my mind in this dream I must wake up!
But this fire raging in my heart shouts a different song,
Desire to love again sings loud and it speaks strong.
The past hurts so much it keeps me from moving on,
But the beauty of this woman gives reason pulling me along.
I dream looking into her eyes that she could love,
Stepping aside she looks into the sky gazing above.
Freeing her hand behind her back she let's go a dove,
This must mean peace, as I wonder is this enough?
She steps back and looks into my eye's,
This time it's different I surmise.
This real beauty I see is no disguise,
With courage stepped up my doubt dies.
A break in the clouds the sun shines through,
A bright beam illuminates her body and hair too.
I can see each strand glow, as if brand new,
Her beauty is so great, it's origin I have no clue.
I am stuck in a trance with no idea of what to do.
She lovingly gazed into my eye's with a look sincere,
Her smile so bright that it could wipe away a tear.
I opened my mouth to speak something true and dear,
Who knew that as I began to mutter she would disappear.
The storm departed bringing along with it my fear.
I sat in wonder and let out a sigh and moan,
Here I was again sitting by myself alone.
On my island on my lake in my jungle home,
Waiting for her return so I can no longer roam.
