Sometimes I dream of flight,
Of racing up into the gaping jaws of the night sky,
Consumed by the famished heavenly heights,
Addicted to the notion of liftoff into the atmosphere,
Drinking the aroma of the wind,
And gazing in wonder at the luminescence of the stars.

Sometimes I dream of flight,
Enveloped by the vibrations and sensation of roaring jets,
As the warm drafts of air flow like a stream,
Sanguine emotions rush through a euphoric mind,
An eye peers out to partake in blinding sunlight
And the illusions and delusions fade into confusion.

Sometimes I dream of flight,
But quickly the realization strikes like a sledgehammer,
What moments ago was a genuine consciousness,
Is leeched away into veracious truth,
The real world looms and awaits my waking,
Although never will I give up that dream of flight.

The heart shudders and flutters,
Feathers sprout as wings grow,
With one rapid jolt, consumed by the blue sky,
As happiness replaces all other emotion,
Sipping a goblet of syrupy sunlight,
And being bathed in a shower of raw glee,
Uplifting the foundations into the atmosphere,
The stars pulse with beautiful luminescence,
Vibrant colors vibrate the air,
When my eyes are graced by your presence.

The pain of being unrecognized,
Tossed aside, the heart’s demise,
Sweet memories were yesterday’s prize,
Piece by piece the soul withers and dies,
Tears of the forgotten flow,
Rock bottom, the all time low,
The mind is clouded, as muddy snow,
Madness soars, black as a crow,
No one hears the cries in the night,
Only one may heal this desperate plight,
The heart de noire steals the light,
Left too weak and feeble to put up a fight,
The fusion of fear and tears become clear
As the frail conscious slowly disappears,
Gone is what was held so dear,
The heart bleeds despair, sliced and speared,
Now what is to be done?
Vanished is the hearts radiant sun,
Happiness and sorrow battle, the clash has begun,
Joy of a lost time is knocked out, sadness has won.

Some say the simple things are what life’s about,
Diffusing roots in the soil of a content mind,
Sprouts of delight grow into a forest of nirvana,
The melodious tune of your voice is my drug,
And calms the tempests of a troubled psyche,
Taking pleasure in the soft stroke of your hand
As you paint my body with the vibrant colors of love,
Conversation follows the flow of an endless stream
As I quietly listen and drink the elixir of your words,
Night consumes the sky while we embrace each other,
An ocean of warmth washes over us,
Waves of blissful slumber crash as consciousness ebbs away,
Night retreats slowly as sunlight drips through the window,
We wake in a web of each other’s arms
As the sunrise stains the heavens with magnificent radiance,
I turn to gaze into the deep recesses of beautiful eyes,
And think to myself, oh the simple things…
