Tell me of this world 
where chocolate roses bloom
Where eyes and heart are not apart
in what they truthfully assume

Tell me of this place you know
where imagination’s real.
where minds need not to wander off
nor their dreams ever conceal 

In that world, the here and now
is better than what could be.
The work of art is satisfied 
here in the dreamer’s apogee

And as I stare into this chocolate rose
I sheepishly propose,
that after you tell me what’s in your head,

that you would take me there instead.
