A Place Where

Together are we so happy and free

Mutual respect practiced daily

Like an old couple making a living by the sea

Thankful and living so happily,

Of course I’m talking about a dream

A reality made of peaches and cream

As opposed to a world where I want to scream

Nothing is ever the way it seems,

At times I awake so far away from reality

But, I don’t want to go back, don’t you see?

There’s nothing in the real world left for me

Still, I attempt to co-exist politely,

They say only fools run away

Show me a good reason to stay

As life goes from one crisis to another malaise

Baby, baby, why couldn’t you just have stayed?

Within a crystalline palace made of ice

A place where spouses are actually nice

A place where intentions and thoughts are precise

Where no one self-destructs from their own device,

An interlude in time and space

This interwoven escape from the human race

A dream is a sanctuary just in case

With momentary happiness to take reality’s place,

But, sadly the party ends at dawn

All that glistens will all be gone

Here comes a hearse that’s horse drawn

With all the sadness that it will spawn,

The perfect reality melts away

With it, the rainbow that couldn’t stay

The re-occurrent illusion comes later in the day

As the evening begins once dusk goes astray,

When once again constellations emerge

When the pale lunar light begins to surge

When shooting stars begin to converge

And once again my sadness is submerged.
