Impasse

I am at a point in my life
Where nothing is conclusive
I'm not at peace with my own heart
And rest has never been more elusive

I toss and turn, then turn, then toss,
And as for words, I'm at a loss
I feel uneasy, I'm not at peace
I wish I could detach, release

There is a whole world in my head
Where skies are green and trees are bent
But where I'd rather be instead
Is unattainable− I can't.

There are voices in my head
Nothing new, but all the same
They wear me out, they're bothersome
I can't even hear my name

There is a place I'd rather be,
A world prepared for you and me;
A silent space, a quiet place,
Void of the rush of the human race

But such a place exists no more
But only in the thoughts of man
For such a space is pivotal
In silencing the thoughts of man

So close your eyes, my valentine,
And open your mind to roam free
For in those dreams, my love, my sky,
Your heart will surely find me

Close your eyes, muffin of mine,
And unlock your heart, dear pumpkin pie
That when two doves in flight meet,
They will see each other eye to eye

Yes, close your eyes and face the sky
Lift your head and spread your arms
Take a breath and stay your ears
Listen to the sound of gentle wind

Just close your eyes, my valentine
Allow our dreams to intertwine
Let your heart sing that song divine
And your melody collide with mine

Close your eyes, my butterfly,
And stay here, right by my side
Lift your face, look to the sky
Forget it all, just you and I.
