Romantic thoughts

~

What am I doing having thoughts like these

Such romances that should never be considered

Breaking the boundaries of my own reality

I witness film like love scenes in my mind

Playing out in a flickering cinema screen

I would happily let all the world sit and watch

As each romantic meeting plays out

Only in the deepest beauty of my own mind

Such lives play out in their own perfection

And I wonder what we could be someday

If all the what ifs and possibilities play out

Into the succession of my own dreams

What could be, what could be I ask myself

Never daring to test the waters about me

To see what ripples may endeavour

And so in sombre, silent reflection I sit

And wonder on thoughts like these
