In My Mind

I live my day inside my head,
Inside my thoughts and desires.
Repeating to myself the things I should�ve said,
My eyes stay away as my body retires.

I imagine us alone on an ivory beach
Looking across a kingdom of fallen leaves.
Finding my hopes locked away with speech,
For you alone my lustful web weaves.

Crystal water which runs past the sun
And glistens in my painted mind.
A rainbow forms where the winds run�
Your beauty defeats these both combined.

So lame is a day�s true reward�
If you are absent when the gift�s received.
I always feel unhappy and bored�
But seeing you smile makes the pain relieved.
