Heaven Skyy

Never in my wildest dreams
Did I imagine
This

Life of slow-motion pain
Unfolding like
Eternity

Goes the sparkle of my youth
My bewilder-stricken cry
And squelched hopes

Crushed by the pressure of time
Under the pull of daylight
In the fall of night

Kicking and squirming
From these tattered pages
Crumpled

And wrapped in bed sheets
Goes my long dead dream
Glimpsed only once

Of a bright and shining paradise
Where endless and simple joys
abound
