" IMAGININGS "

She lies with one of her legs on top of the covers, and the other, under
She sighs as she listens to the sound of waves, coming through the balcony doors
And she's daydreaming of her love, the one that she's forever been searching for
It's an ongoing surprise that he's spiritually arrived, but physically an untapped shore
So she wrestles with her ideal man, not daring to understand, for she's truly enjoying
This love she's exploring and she can't imagine things any other way, amidst her adoring
So she's lost inside the love they share, blankets of feelings everywhere
Like pillows of fluffiness, fondling her impressions of the ringlets in her hair
For it's the first time her love has found a happy swing, on an empty playground
Where this endlessness to her feelings abound, and spill over into her profound
Awareness of her amorous affair, that's splashing her soul with the finest of wines
Intoxicating her senses with perfumed balloons, floating rainbows in her mind
And it's this happiness she's expressing here, in bed with her imagination
So powerful it leaves her perplexed, so she passes on her loving purification
Into the mattresses, making everything she needs so soft
She's found everything her soul and heart could need
Like the passionate wind through the trees
She's imagined her own Sumner breeze....
