Bittersweet Makebelieve

How bittersweet this makebelieve, 

My fingers teem with possibility 

It washes over me like waves of electricity 


I want to stay here with you forever 

In this empty, mundane park,

As a surreal sky hangs over us 

Soft blue with frayed yellow horizon edges:

The seams between heaven and earth 


I have never been more happy 

The air smells like a dream 

The perfect temperature

I exhale 


Your eyes are grey like a rolling sea 

I've never known you like this before,

You show me new ways that I can be 


Soon, we will come crashing into reality, 

The violent lights and manic motors,

Time will resume.


These sacred minutes ebb away.

This time I will remember
