Ecstasy


Something so beautiful,
that it could never be;
ideas so wonderful -
trapped by reality.

Fancy so bountiful,
whispering all to me -
dreams that are incredible,
surpassing all beauty.

Hope that mocks reality,
time that now seems frozen;
thoughts that fly above the 
fate that I have chosen.

Emotions escaping, 
any… all description -
causing me to employ,
mere words in derision.
