Just Like Heaven

Clouds float so fast above us.
Emerald blades tickle my limbs,

Prickling me with the touch of giddy joy.

 

Let’s just get up and run,

The earth bouncing beneath our bare feet.

Let’s just drop everything.
Breathe in the sweet air of living,

And sleep under the peace of the galaxy.

 

We’ll Sail over dreams,

Faces glistening with morning dew.

Sunlight spilling on our shoulders,

We’ll climb to the peak of every cliff

We never could face before.

 

Through deep valleys we will stumble,

Stretching our fingers across the horizon.

Travelers of the earth, that’s what we’ll be.

Just you and me.

 

I’ll run away with you.

This came to me for some reason while listening to the song Just Like Heaven by The Cure.

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this. Not only because I love that song, but because the imagery is seriously fantastic, and I feel like if there was a image going to this song this would be it. I love it!!! So beautiful, honestly. Every stanza is gorgeous. Amazing job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever heard "Just Like Heaven" by Katie Melua? It's a really pretty acoustic version, if you like that kind of music. ANyway, your poem is wonderful. Excellent piece.
