In My Ideal World

I see no other endless tomorrow than

 

To lie face to face with you

 

On a bed of lavenders and violets.

 

The cool sun magnifies

 

The verdant fields in your eyes

 

And the radiant shadows of my hair.

 

Morning breeze enshrouds our bodies

 

Sustained by flames more eternal than Vesta’s.

 

Here forever after

 

In my ideal world.

 

 

If I felt hunger it shall not last long,

 

For there are nectars from the giant continent that is you.

 

If you knew thirst it shall be quenched,

 

Just drink from my hidden wells and fountains.

 

But remember that I’m not like the ancient Eve

 

And you can only be the Adam in our own accord.

 

The butterflies or birds won’t shame me.

 

The grasses or trees won’t complain.

 

For loving you is the only truth

 

In my ideal world.

 

 

My hands are here to heal and amuse you,

 

As long as your arms embrace me from harm.

 

We own only the lips and ears

 

Where sweet sounds pass by

 

To lull as to dream or memorize

 

We’ll not know starless night of horror,

 

The way the moon becomes our constant watcher.

 

We’ll fear no lightning or thunder of wrath

 

For the rain will be our noble preserver.

 

Come and stay

 

In my ideal world.

 

 

We don’t have to worry about Sunday

 

Or think of God to pray.

 

Nature is our divine link to the cosmos,

 

And us the perpetual worship fleshed out.

 

Celestial or earthly we need not know

 

For this is the spot where boundaries depart.

But all these remain as bright colors in my head

 

Unless you key in yourself in my mind

 

And enshrine me to your heart.

 

Our story can be written by our breath

 

On petals and foliage of existence to this place.

 

Somewhere we can call ours,

 

Come and take

 

My ideal world.
