My Inner Homeland
Location
I had a dream about you last night
You invaded my home land
I watched you take over
I didn’t stop you because I wanted you with me
In my inner palace
I felt you with every tingling sensation in my body
You took me to a fantasy land where we touched dragon’s scales with our delicate fingers
We traversed galaxies and saw a super nova with our own two eyes
We heard the Beatles live
And we interlocked eyes as they sung about every sense that I felt for you
We sat under mile high red oak trees and used the miniature voices of fairies to whisper sweet nothings to each other
While we watched waves crash onto our imitation ocean
Over a handmade cliff
Under layers and layers of the wildest dreams our imaginations could think of
We stopped time
Tick. Tick. Tick.
In the most perfect place
While our thoughts intertwined with each other
But
Tick. Tick. Tick.
I woke up and
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Time kept on as it continues on
I left my safe haven
I left my abstract place
And you stole it
I thought you were a refugee just hiding out in the back yard of my mind
But Tick. Tick. Tick.
I turned around
And you weren’t there
And as I curled around myself in a question wondering why you didn’t stay
Time
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Continues on
And with time wounds
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Healed
And scars
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Stayed
But in my dreams of you
In my metaphysical home
It is all undamaged
It is perfect
It is where I wish I could explore forever
It is where I can always stop time in that perfect place
Tick. Tick.
