In the corners of my mind

The day starts crazy,
work goes out of hand;
There's no time for daydreaming,
no time for foolish thoughts

There are stolen moments, yes,
when thoughts enter the mind
fleeting, like fragrant petals swirling in the wind,
fragile, like porcelain in the palm of my hand

Thoughts of a faceless man,
Ready, willing and able
to love me incessantly
like there's no tomorrow

I think about endless possibilities
with the man who will make my heart
race and skip and thump,
of a love that knows no bounds;

I will be his, completely
And he will be mine;
Conquering the world will be our goal,
As if the world was ours for the taking

The longing has never been so strong
Never been so consuming;
The wait becomes an itch
until the fiery desire begins to cool

Brushing them aside,
I return to reality, the painfully hollow shell
that binds us all;
Inescapable, but hope creeps in

Time has never been my ally
yet I know she will give me my due
for she has faith in the love I can give
A love so strong, pure and enduring

The day comes to a close
yet others don't seem to notice;
To each his own, as they say
And it will end as if it never even started

The day passes in a gentle flourish
But I continue to think, to long and dream
of the man of my dreams,
the love of my life

In time, certainly
He will come to me;
While I await him, he will be,
always, in the corners of my mind...

In the corners of my heart.
