Paradise Found

For hours my imagination and you
toy around
exploring long forgotten caves,
marveling at stories narrated by ancient tribes,
more artful than the brushstroke
administered by the pen of an embittered scribe


We look for buried treasure
under seas of sought for pleasure
Set our compass to our hearts
determined to embrace each brand new start

We meet gargoyles
that tell tales of far away lands
where they once roamed
unencumbered and free,
unfettered by the chains of
humanity

Burning wood
to create fire
that will last
deep into the night,
body furls into body,
as we dream of forever in this bewitched paradise

Fingers entwined,
your hand in mine
we forage our way through infinity
turning left where there is no right,
we plunge off steep cliffs
to immerse ourselves in shimmering
pools of light.
