171. Be My Wonderland

Published on 8 October 2016 at 13:49

I’d once a thought

that I was somehow lost,

and quite frightened,

but it wasn’t till I met you,

that my days had brightened.

I could feel my heart race,

round and round it went,

and I needed not pretend

that I’d finally found my place

here where we first met.

It is often a strange thing,

a thing called Wonderland.

Where my heart may 

forever sing, and dance, 

and beat yet again,

to the song of life, 

from beginning to end.

And often I am lost in a dream,

in this place I can’t think to be real.

Where my heart 

flutters and breathes,

and dances with 

all the trees and their leaves.

It has to be, though,

if I am able to feel. 

The doubt I once had 

in finding land,

disappeared as I was 

no longer at sea.

And you can see that 

this was not my plan,

but I am grateful for this dream,

for this is the dream 

of a lonely man.

And you will see that 

I am here to stay,

as long as you don’t run off

 to Neverland,

to where you’d be lost, 

and it’d be too late.

Perhaps if you would 

be my Wonderland,

we’d remain here together,

forever and always, 

and ever after.

In a land with laughter

and joy and where

two hearts can be one.

And that is love, you see,

having two turtle doves

in a land filled with dreams.

And I never want that to end,

the feeling of being in a strange land,

a world that is you and me,

and a sea of precious memories.

A kind of Wonderland, you might say,

and so, I will ask you just one more thing.

Please stay here and be my Wonderland.
