Description
Simple, sickly and innocent dreamsDreams of sun and flowers and fun,
The kind of pleasure distilled
from water as clear river run
beside sandy banks and high reeds
- a nest in which your lover lies
with words from pearlescent lips spake
and your hearts affection beguiles
A bee alights upon a nearby flower
and ponderously toward its nectar races
Before quickly buzzing off
As a deft hand plucks and places
The solitary yellow symbolic burst
of hope, of bliss and of desire
from nothing and vacuum sprung
behind the soft crescent of her ear.
The sun caresses her pale skin
White cloud reflected in its purity
before the cloud spits a tear into her eye
Your senses affronted by cruel reality
and the only tears are your own.
Shed because that river will never run,
Shed because you'll never, in long reeds
Lie and love and embrace with the sun.
Simple, sickly and innocent dreams
Reveal themsevles to have venom
Hidden under idealistic folds
Of hope, of blindness, of optimism.
This isn't happiness, and one wonders
even if it ever could be.
