The River of Your Mind

I'm coasting down your river
the river of your mind
not sure what I was looking for
not sure what I would find

The scenery along the way
was surely worth the ride
the beauty that is yours alone
as I travel deep inside

The greenery of thoughts
such pleasant happy ways
the daffodils and daisies
they decorate your days

The flow of thoughtful words
all sparkling and blue
the puffs of clouds floating by
as they dance above my view

This river of enchantment
runs clear into the night
where I can see the wonder of you
when the stars are shining bright

Your bird of romance soars above
thru twilight shades of you
singing your words of passion
a song of rhapsody blue

There's a tiger prowling on your shore
thru a tangled grove of trees
he's the passion of your heated flesh
your desire to tease and please

I see a curve ahead
a bend in the water's flow
I'm taken to the deepest parts
of the thoughts you never show

I see a little boy weeping
upon the silkened shore
he's found a castle made of dreams
and he's knocking on the door

But no one seems to be listening
to his yearning deep inside
yet even when the door is opened
I see him run and hide

I'm coming to your river's end
as you're drifting fast asleep
You softly wave with your manly hand
and I see you no longer weep

Instead I see that mystical smile
that belongs to you alone
calling to me with echoed breath
I know I've found my home.
