Hand in Hand

A fantasy when I need to escape

When the pain is more than I can bear,
I travel to the island that we share.
A tropical, sunny, deserted land,
where we stroll together, hand in hand.

I see your love for me, in your eyes,
shining brighter, than the stars in the skies
and I, surely, cannot see,
how any happier, I could be.

We dive into the briny sea,
then, your arms encircle me.
We swim into the still, calm bay
and my love for you takes my breath away.

I watch you swim and dive,
so happy you are by my side.
I can't remember life before you,
the depths of my love, I wish you knew.

We lie in the warm, golden sand,
masters of our own beautiful land.
As we dry, in the sun,
we are together, two, as one.

We take a leisurely stroll to the waterfall,
so beautiful, majestic-all,
where below, there is a pool, so clear,
with colorful birds, singing near.

Your beautiful eyes, the window to your soul,
reflect how I feel so whole,
on this island that we share.
Oh, how I wish we really lived there.

A place, where I don't have to wish in vain,
for a body without any pain.
It feels like pain is all I know
and my tears just flow and flow.

Oh, give me that beautiful, fantasy land,
where we stroll hand in hand,
swimming and diving in the briny sea,
just my heart's true love and me.

A beautiful place you took me in this poem. All of us could use a place where we have a beautiful day and the ocean at our feet. No weakness in this amazing poem.
