Familiar Stranger

I look at you and a stranger I see,
A stranger who once meant the world to me.
Life has a way of bending to a curve
Taking back all you’ve been handed and served

A life once intimately shared, seems distant …in the past
Memories plays like a movie… and we’re the fading cast
Once a pair, committed and as one
Now we’re as distant as the earth is to the sun

Laughter and despair shared in loving embrace
Naught too unbearable or challenging to face
I’m astounded at the stark reality of it all
How easily from grace we could fall

In the blink of an eye… smashed to smithereens
This cocoon we’ve built and wrapped ourselves in
Existing on a sphere … worlds apart…
A stranger who once captured… and filled my heart

Fantasia

As I lie awake at night and gaze upon the stars
My visions carry me to far away places, sometimes even Mars

Discovering exotic islands, untouched by the human hand,
To bathe in crystal waterfalls and dance on beaches of pure white sand.

Exploring the ancient pyramids of Giza, and the Sphinx of Egypt old
Behold this imposing wonder, of which ageless tales have been told.

To walk in the footsteps of Caesar, through the majestic Colosseum of Rome.
Where gladiators fought in fierce combat and prayers were offered in the Pantheon Dome.

I swim within the ocean, to the depths of Poseidon’s lair,
Discovering a world… spectacular, of which most mortals are completely unaware.

I journey on the adventurous path of my vivid imagination.
So when life seems dismal and dreary, my dreams are my inspiration.
