My Eden, My Nirvana
I have read the passage of my dreams time and time again,
  re-imagining the scenery with all the psychedelic colors of nature.
  Its heavenly greenery calls to me,
  and I wish to smother my face in it
 -if only I could live on plush flora.
 Petite waterfalls join together to ignite life over
 a splendorous azure pond, 
  it calls to me like the symphonies of gods:
  my escape.
  The location of my whilom sanity;
 My Eden, my Nirvana.
 Oh…
  The scents of so many flowers, 
 swirling around my nostrils,
  play at the memory of my suburban years.
  I imagine spreading out naked in this place,
  letting the softness of the sun kiss my long-deprived pale cells.
  I would build the world around this life defying beauty so I can share the total rake of pleasure it emits.
 My Eden, my Nirvana.
 I wonder if this is the material great poems are made of?
  Did any great poet picture this very place of nature?
  Then, with his immortal pen:
  write the essence of beauty into his memories?
 My Eden, my Nirvana:
 a place of collected humidity;
  billions of colors and unnatural possibilities.
 I wish I could revisit a place so divine,
  but I read on
    and leave the absolutely magnetic sense-tingling recollection behind:
 My Eden, my Nirvana.
