Imagination...
Infatuation...
They wonder in the universe.
As I write each line.
As I ponder, As I imagine you and I
We were somewhere that we'd never been.
Dancing underneath the moon's dim.
Upon the hills where fairies fly.
They let glitter float arround us in the sky.
And you said to me..
You are la luna
You are the moon
I replied...
Se sorvano di buio e luce
You are ruler of dark and light
Then in my minds eye
We were dancing in the sky
The fairies sang to us and we had no fear
We were not afraid of the end
But lost in the moment as our souls became*
One in the same
Imagination...
Infatuation...
Oh where they take me

Most humans drink coffee and wine
They consume television and mainstream novels
They feed their souls with popularity contests and safe relationships

But poets
We could not survive without passion, intensity, and meaning
Everything we feel is felt to the depths of our souls
We are the ones to put into words the unspeakable pain of heartbreak
The incomprehensible joy of falling in love
We are the ones brave enough to say out loud the diaries of a thousand souls

Us poets
We drink tea and whiskey
