I want to be

I want to be

A Poem by Ethereal flower
"

Because sometimes we all want to just get away

"
I don't want to be here,
In the wind and the dark
With essays to do
And shopping to buy

I want to be sailing the high sea's
in my coat and my boots,
steering the ship 
and calling my crew 
to stop what they're doing
there is an enemy ahead 
another swashbuckling adventure
clashing swords and rolling heads
there's treasure to be found, 
more close calls to be had,
but my own latest endeavour
is waiting for the gas man to arrive

I want to be dancing with the fairy's 
in the clouds up above,
jumping and playing 
mixing and making
potions from stardust, 
painting the colours of the sky
the reds and pinks and the blue's and whites
While the colour of my own life
is continuously grey

I want to be swooping with dragons,
skimming water with my fingertips,
touching treetops with my toes.
blowing fire on the tops of mountains
melting the snow
roaring out to the sky
letting go of my angst
saving the children in danger
by breathing fire to the bad guys.
yet the bravest thing I have done
is going downstairs with the lights not on.

Author's Note

Ethereal flower
I wasn't quite sure how to end this poem, I wanted to put in another four line stanza but I couldn't think of one and I am not sure if I like leaving it without one
