i am happy by phil burns
Ear Phones Recommended:
I thought you broke my heart in two
on the day that you left me
but I walk barefoot on golden sands
in paradise on the Mediterranean Sea
I write gentle words of poetry
I see mermaids eating thistle pies
my world’s awash with magic
an elephant’s eyes and butterflies
finned yachts compete with dolphins
as nonchalant giraffes stroll by
mariners tell tales of albatross
who float for years unshot on high
a crimson angel cloaked in dusk
behind soft lit mountains steals
moonlight tiptoes o’er the surf
laughing Orion turns cartwheels
there are rainbows with no rain here
dragons with neatly coloured knees
and sheep who are disguised as clouds
drift past mammoths perched in trees
unicorns wearing tartan kilts
munch on rhubarb dipped in cheese
and sing sweet songs of love and loss
like buttercups in a breeze
so I walk barefoot on golden sands
under sunswept skies of blue
scarcely thinking of the day you left
when I thought you broke my heart in two
