the world is just not romantic enough for me
which is why i must constantly turn it to poetry

i want more love
more passion
more empathy
more romance
and more wine
i want to dance with the divine
until the end of time
and seize this wondrous moment of mine

i want people dancing in the streets
under a spotlight made of moonlight

i want birds singing me awake every day
after dreaming of sensual delights all night

i want strangers laughing & holding hands
just because they are headed in the same direction

i want beggars on the streets to have their pockets filled
because people just won't stop giving
and so maybe they can ask for real change instead

i want tears falling from blissful eyes
and kindness used a s a currency

i want laughter to be the music we make
and music that is always playing the notes we need to feel
in the background of all our experiences
transmitting from stars that children whisper wishes to at night

i want hands clapping for all the lovers high above
and for all the heartbroken who were crushed by love

i want cups raised for the riskers and tryers
the fallen and the flyers,
for the chance takers, and the luck makers,
and for those who just brighten up the night
with their own righteous light

i want all the wine to be drank all of the time
and i want nothing left to wear but nakedness

i want our eyes to only see through passion & compassion coloured glasses
and our own skin seen and worn as the most beautiful of fashions

i want everyone to be in a love affair with nature & with themselves

i want a life lived in romance and nothing els.
