Come away with me,
To wherever you want to go,
So many cultures and countries to see,
Different things about the world we don’t yet know.
Let’s go to Camelot upon a silver steed,
Let’s go to Shangri-La,
Or Paradise instead,
Where blissful days we will pass.
Peace, love and tranquillity we shall have,
Floating with the clouds,
Our dreams for us a way will pave,
And take away the foul.
Let’s go to Camelot sailing on silent wings,
Or a lost desert island to watch the weeping sea,
And enjoy only all the good things,
That were gifted to you and me!
There is so much we can do,
If we only open our minds,
We only need to choose,
So let’s go to Camelot while there is still time!
Author notes
N/A, I don't quite know how to describe this poem. Spiritual among other things. Imagination and escapism is a vital part of it too.
I guess you could say it is about spending time with the one you love (or the people you love; family and friends etc) and making the most of our time together.
Be happy with your life and what you have... Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be!
Enjoy!

This was difficult to read because of the color choice. I think it would be better if the font was white. Thanks for the entry though!

Thank you Damon. I did not see that error. Thanks for pointing it out to me. I will edit it right away. Thanks also for the vote of 'don't touch it' :-)

don't touch it!
I saw one mistake in this one. Where you were talking about the horse, you called it a s-t-e-a-d. Actually it is s-t-e-e-d. Stead in like a bedstead or instead. Other than that one thing I vote don't touch it.

Thank you Chris. I appreciate your kind comments! :-)

excellent
This is a very impressive poem. The images work well and it avoids sentimentality. Chris. -
don't touch it!
I was guessing it was about something you once said about this love of yours for another age and another time. Remember that do you ? Historical England if I remember ? But it is a dreamy poem and one if you hear read to you you could slip away into the dream. -
Thank you very much Blaise! A friend of mine said something similar about that piece too... Uncanny! :-) Many thanks.

excellent
Very nice fantasy! Lovely write 'the weeping sea' is a really nice description. -
don't touch it!
well it is as you say a poem mainly about escapism but not in a bad sense it is good if you can find a place to be at peace even if it is just to visit there awhile to rest and take comfort in a loved one which does include friends lol great write grey
