Candy Store Dream
Need I pull
The escape chord?
This flying Scotsman travels too fast
Me thinks
Whilst my dog lays dying
My castle lays crumbling
My heart lays in carnage
No wonder
I sink
Last night I escaped to a world with a girl
Theatrical elegance surrounded her form
As she leant forward
Framed eyes widened (back arched)
And held
One finger
Vertically over silken pursed lips
And quietly hushed me
Ushering
Urging
Me to follow her slip like form
Through to a medly of sumptuous shades of scarlet
Sky
Tall slim conifer style clouds
Of glorious turquoise
Slipped
Slowly
By
As vertically as her finger
She led and beckoned
I followed
Clambering conifer clouds
Reaching candy striped
Tight ropes
As we tip toed above all and I eventually rose my eyes
There were many old young souls
Smiling clambering in silent jubilation
And I forgot
The flying Scot
And all it's pain
As I was a child in a candy store
Thank fully
Momentarily
Once
Again
