it's paradise
and I would leave
despite such avarice
I always look beyond
where I am
never actually seeing
the proverbial forest
for the trees
I get weak in the knees
and have to say please
wondering when this slice
of paradise
will finally become mine
for all of time
there is such a magic here
but I fear
that I will
never find it
despite my good intentions
and self-same interventions
that become me.

So living in such paradise
is never exactly as it seems
