That's where I want to be!



The soft sun on my face I feel, with mercurial drops from the rain that heal;
The breeze runs amok through my hair and into nothingness I crave to stare;
That's where I want to be, that's where I want to be!



Floating freely on a cloud, far away from the maddening crowd;
Watching the sun melt into the sea and lazily engage in my thoughts so free;
That's where I want to be, that's where I want to be!



Drift away like a frisky bubble, in my mind no more trouble;
Drown into the abyss of calm, grab hold of some time in my palm;
That's where I want to be, that's where I want to be!


Snuggled in your warm embrace, our eyes locked in a loving gaze;
Where we read each other's minds, our memories on constant rewind;
That's where I want to be, that's where I want to be!



But I'm jolted back to reality; factuality is a painful misery;
There's never an escape route well planned, to take me to my wonderland;
I wish I were in another place, where happiness I wouldn't have to chase;
I can only dream about a life so good ... I'd really try to if I could;
For now, here's where I'll be, forlorn, here's where I'll be!

Hi, The poem is beautifully worded but why does it have to end on a such a sad note. Be where you want to be. Dreams come true you know.

@Vanita: Thank you :)
@Shants: thanks babe .... it is not a sad poem. It merely states the facts!I do get to do all these things most times but one can't always remain in their wonderland forever :)
@Prutha: heheheh thanks girl! Its no definite place .... just a place in my head :)
@Nike: come away with me ... :)
@Thotpot: Sorry that the last stanzas ruined it for you but that's how it was supposed to be. Everything in life ain't peaches and cream. I'd love to be "there" for the rest of my life but sometimes we need to come back to reality because its only when we come back that we can appreciate such a wonderful place :)
