Where I Want To Be Poem by Alvin Mingle

Where I Want To Be



The deep blue sea,
Velvet, Mauve, Cucumber, Cream
Held on the lawns of the Mount Nelson
Tea, Tea, Earl Grey Tea
Daffodils in bloom
Is this where I want to be?

Sun, Moon, Birds, Flight
Under the sky in Billabong Moon
Taste of fine Roebuck; Steaks on the fire
Orchids, Bougainvillia, Geraniums, Anthuriums
Flowers in bloom
Is this where I want to be?

Rain, Rain, torrential Rain
Trees and birds that sing
Dusty roads and places that sleep
Smiley, Smiley sheep heads that smile
Mountain, hills, valleys, seas
On the way to Table Bay
Is this where I want to be?

The Deep blue sea
Is where I want to be
Swirls of emotions
Tears of Joy
Sea Urchins, shells, frost flowers & bells
THIS is where I want to be
