It was a wonderful place to go
A time when dreams were dreams and it was okay to imagine
Okay to love
Okay to embrace all that was good 
Slipping farther away from reality is the greatest vacation one can give oneself
Dropping off the side of the earth
Falling deeper into a spinning cyclone of forgetting it all
For the whirlwind sometimes whips you without warning 
Then settles to a calm 
I emerge to see you waiting on the other side in this strange new land
Sunbeams of crimson reflect off your hair 
As the sunset lies softly on the blue water’s bay
Sparkling like crystals atop the tiniest of waves 
They lap gently on your hand as it drags through the water 
Hypnotizing me with your hypnotic beauty 
As you sit so close 
Closely we sit 
Your long legs crossed with the eloquence of a Queen 
Flowing into one another with perfection of length and beauty 
Your hands soft to the touch
Touching with long fingers of softness, lacing with my mine with woven energy I feel 
Drifting slowly our Gondola takes us deeper into the city
Deeper into my dream
Through the canal streets of Venus
Underneath arched bridge-ways of cobblestone 
Roadways of water wash over our worries 
As the Gondolier pushes us up onto the shoreline 
An ocean of time crests in the background 
We turn hand in hand to get lost in the sand
To feel time stand still and the wind in our hair
Dreaming of Venus if only for a minute
