Unleash Your Fancy

     Could you fly with me to far away lands

take a trip & hold my hand 

an island's getaway escape 

      where sands are malachite

         & burnt cinnabar

let's depart the mundane 

              to tango or light a fandango 

unleash your imagination,

bare your soul, take the plunge

            dance with me over the edge

     to see the azure moon

       it's crystal clarity filled

            with knowledge of the ages

  take a flight of fancy to a celestial sanctuary

   where pewter wine runs in canals

we'll dip our feet

      and watch the sun rise magenta 

     a purple haze that tickles the senses

wander this world of plenty

    & sense the sea glistening

a majestic tale of lapis lazuli 

     and mystical spells

spill your ingenuity loose on

 Mt Everest's snowcaps

    we'll sweep a path to the south of France 

smother baguettes with real butter

 and drink wisteria wines

       or we could just sit here and pass the time 

drink razzmatazz liqueurs

                made with thunder & lime

then sip each other's sweet nectar

A very romantic and urgent piece. Well written with your usual appropriate metaphors and well chosen words. Hey not sure I fancy the taste of pewter wine though lol
