seas rock my soul

     inflate my empty spaces

     billow with dreams

     kites of saffron emotions

     wind ruffling blushed beaches

bleached walls of sand

     wrap arms around foamy cusps

     slipping between sheets of water

     purity of cleansing mist

     whispered secrets released

love notes scrawled in grains before us

     flirting seagulls soar above

     poured light of amethyst beams

     sunshine swims in sprinkled rays

     sunlight drips mustard on my toes

flowing water of overlapped waves

     jaunty fish silhouettes

     fragrant wisps of clinging seaweed

     truth cradling purity of tints

     embraced by daylight eyes

utopia a mirage just one step ahead

     serenity of secret promises

     saline breezes ruffling senses

     I take a deep breath of aqua

     knowing I am my own utopia.

Here, I am safe

Here, I am warm

Here, I can breathe

Hide from the storm

I never thought I'd find this place

This secret little nook

Yet, by some sweet twist of fate

I found it without having to look

It's my favourite spot

In the whole wide world

& nowhere else comes close

To this rarity unfurled

Absolute perfection

Peaceful, calm & quiet

If someone tries to pry me loose

My, how I shall riot

This is my home

Where I belong

Once, I was weak

But here I am strong

I see stars that shine

Instead of stones

I see a life to live

Instead of bones

I smell sweetness

Instead of decay

I smell the start

Of a brand new day

Everything sparkles

All shiny & new

Glittering & glowing

In an opalescent hue

I never want to leave

& if you'll have me, I'll stay

Because here is where

All my fears are kept at bay

This place I speak of

Is quite unique

Only one exists

& it's my private boutique

No one else may enter

It's for me alone

As I breathe the secret scent

Of your masculine cologne

My utopia

Is in your arms

Side by side

Connecting palms

You're my heaven

Here on earth

& because of you

To love I gave birth

You're my heart

My blood sings your name

Since I met you

I've never been the same

So I'll keep you as a treasure

A precious gift from above

We fit together perfectly

Like a warm & perfect glove

Two souls as one

For all eternity

I know that you & I

Were always meant to be

Not having any awkward vibes 

Accepting there are varied lives

Forgiving all who insult me

Understanding they can't see

Meeting new inspiring souls

Attaining all my unmet goals

Never feeling like I'm tired

Throwing out the word retired

Rejoining with my peeps who die

Realizing death's a lie

Watching blazing sunlight's gleam

And colors that I have not seen

Reassured that all is well

There is no place people call hell

Resting in the arms of Him

Who lets me slide of all my sin

Rewind my life so better be

The next time I possess this me

Know that I am not alone

The Spirit with me where I roam

knowing how the universe

Relates to frankincense and mirth

Feeling wonder in my soul

Angels dance as the clouds roll
