The allure of utopian dreams

Heaven on Earth

We found this special place
Beyond the turbulence of anguished thought,
Beyond the vexations of bitter hearts,
Beyond yesterday's regret,
Beyond the grip of tomorrow's worry,
Beyond the allure of utopian dreams.

We found this special place within,
Where pride intrudes not on the soul of love,
Imposes not on another's sacred journey,
Accepts silently the right to be right,
Respects humbly the right to be wrong, 
Awaits not for the wrong to be righted. 

We found this special place together
After the turbulence of anguished thought faded,
After the vexations of bitter hearts perished,
After surrendering yesterday's regret,
After giving away tomorrow's worry,
After the allure of utopian dreams
Drove us to our knees 
in forgiveness.

Missing something you never had

The Look

Stephen kissed me in the spring,
Robin in the fall,
But Colin only looked at me
And never kissed at all.


Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest,
Robin’s lost in play,
But the kiss in Colin’s eyes
Haunts me night and day.

A good night sleep

It appears to be a life of destitution, but to him, his life is complete. He has everything he needs close by, and more importantly, a good night sleep. How many of us can claim the same?

Don't take life too seriously

Life is just a meaningless tangle of stories. Lets not take them seriously, or care for anyone or anything. After all, you will end up dead eventually.

Floating

I lay on my back on the water
Shutting away all my cares
When I open my eyes
I see bright sky
Full of hopes
Filled with possibilities
They can wait
I'll float some more
