Suspended Sanity

Rambling thoughts, ambiguous ideas,

Intentions, notions and derivations.

Jumbled, tangled mess of purpose;

Creating utter chaos and confusions.

Lines blurring from reality to dreams,

So difficult to follow the forbidden stream.

This labyrinth of aays and nays,

Keep weaving through my mind always.

Slow down mind, I beg of thee,

Take one day at a time and dwell in its serenity.

A truce I draw with my inner hostility 

Hoping to find some calm and clarity.

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!
