In a mood of silence, I sat on the balcony
I looked at everything around me
Things are loud and noisy
Car horns drive me crazy
Began to feel sad and lonely
Can’t I be dancing in the fields of fantasy?
Lying under the shade of a tree
Where I can be only me
No rules, no laws, I just want to be free
But then I’m back to reality
Then amid this chaos came a breeze
Brought the humidity of the seven seas
Brought the scent of the spring trees
I just couldn’t stand it, and fell to my knees

There was a flying flower
Drawing a rainbow in this happy hour
The clouds were no more
And the sun shone on the happiness door

This flower was dancing in harmony
It was fluttering, playing a Mozart symphony

But that was no flower dancing in the sky
It was the prettiest butterfly

I asked ‚Can I fly with you?
And sail around the way you do?‛

She said ‚Come, we will have so much fun
I will take you so high, to the summer sun‛

I tried but I don’t have wings to fly around
No matter how I tried my feet were on the ground

She moved a wing in a dance
And with simple glance

She filled me with feelings of ecstasy
Never felt this way, like sailing to the eternity

Where endless emotions fly to the forever
When we keep our eyes cherish each other

When we go so deep
Our eyes can’t sleep

Lost in world beyond description
Filled with divine emotions

But when I open my eyes and see myself on the balcony
I had that distant look with a smile of serenity
Where I have been in dreamland with my fairy
And still the great feeling echoes in reality
Where I smile to the sun as it shines upon me
Where I write this poem smoking my cig, and drinking my coffee
And yet I want to be back to the balcony
To enjoy endless feelings of great moments with her company
