Beings Existing In Visions

Reading on while my inner Agony Aunt rants again:  the
style is pure melodrama, the descriptions and the minutia
of noticing every aspect of every face - the oversensitive
reactions, if we lived like that we’d be fatigued spending
our energy being conscious of people and the adolescent
conviction that a love will endure forever – I know better

Irrational youngsters unaware how lack of understanding
and bad communication destroy the loves we harbour in-
side, the story only shows young people living in the throb
of the moment but ignorant of the facts of life, I stifle the
voice of my Agony Aunt - dive into the action again, after
expressing her concerns she falls silent; I live the fantasy

The child within me refuses to heed realism, preferring to
enter a trance and enjoy the romance as only the very in-
experienced can - I give in to this delightful feeling and
ignore the complaints from my rational mind, it is ever so
enjoyable to follow my heart, besides, I’m always willing
to pay the price when I transgress, crying afterwards

As long as I accept the inevitable punishment I shall be
free to enter the Wonderland, see the bizarre and follow
the burlesque where my soul finds strange new ideas
and delights in the dream of eternal love – I shall pay
whatever the cost to share in the vision of such
heavenly beings only existing in visions
