i once imagined a place
a time and a place
it couldn't have been that far, maybe just over that hill
or maybe under that raincloud over there
or basking under the rays of the sun this place sits
quiet and peaceful
melancholy and sad
once upon a starry night i laid in its fields and
swam in its lakes to dry under a flowering tree that smelt of kisses
i smiled all the while letting my tears be whisked away by the passing clouds
and i held you
