The Unforgettable Dream

A thousand thoughts crowd up my skies,
Like curious little butterflies.
They sparkle like lightning in the dark,
Blinding out my inquisitive eyes.

I’m transported to that magic world…
A flick! Ah, I’ve landed!
It’s just a few moments away,
Then everything is enchanted!

It’s where I want to run away!
It’s the place of a million wishes!
It’s like that dew-dropped dawn I miss…
It’s like those hugs and kisses!

It’s where no one will disturb me.
It’s where the sun always shines.
It’s where you see terrible pain too…
And yet, it’s a place, where you never get to whine!

It’s where I camp with my polar bears!
Where I embarked on my quest for gold!
When I sped off to Pluto,
A million stories I was told!

Time flies by like a hummingbird…
Pop! And I’ve forgotten!
In a moment everything is blank,
It’s like the ride I never got in!

It’s the stuff that I live off!
It’s what makes my world go round.
It’s where every idea comes from,
Worth every dollar and pound!

Nothing beats the high it gives!
Oh, it’ll make you scream!
Yes, this is the beginning…
This is the Unforgettable Dream.

An Unforgettable Dream

It was a beautiful Time.
The Heavens unveiled their arson.
I walked down a winding path,
As the clouds wrapped up my Sun.

At first, I felt disrupted.
The Air turned moist and chilly.
It was going to become messy;
Frankly, I felt a little silly! 

Aqua beaded down the skies… 
Like a glance from her beautiful Eyes. 
As they splashed against my face, 
I discovered something better than her embrace. 

It was a Dream. 
But then, it wasn’t. 
I pinched myself – Real raindrops! 
Pure, and by the dozen! 

I had landed in this zone,
This mysteriously trivial place. 
It was Earth, raining Heaven… 
Losing track of Time and Space. 

It seemed like God’s Gift to me…
For what? I do not know. 
But in all these years, 
It was His best show! 

It seemed like endless Bliss. 
The pearls kept kissing me. 
I wished I could Gift this,
It was Joy! It could last an eternity. 

And I was loathing the clouds… 
And fearing their arson! 
Bah! That was stupid. 
Found something as good as my Sun. 

And then, as I looked out,
I could see the Golden Stream! 
Spilt in every beautiful color, 
Lay an Unforgettable Dream.

The Ultimate Paradox

It surely is a challenge…
Most definitely – a mystery.
A forbidden pleasure?
A never-ending parody.

A priceless gift.
Maybe a blissful kiss?
A roller-coaster…
With all its lovely twists.

It takes you all the way up!
Leaves you with tears in your eyes.
Yet, it can make everything
Seem like a bowl of rice.

It is the ultimate obstacle;
The longest race.
Easily, the most wonderful miracle;
An everlasting craze.

It gives you everything
When you really, really want it.
Trust it to deliver the next mountain
Just as you begin enjoying it.

It fills you with Joy
At your bleakest hour.
Could drown you in enough sorrow…
Enough to make chocolate seem sour.

For a moment it seems simple…
Like those soft, long locks.
That’s when you realize –
Life, is the ultimate paradox.
