Imagination

Imagination
Writer(s): van heusen/burke

Imagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
It makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do

Have you ever felt a gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then and then
Find it’s only your imagination again

Imagination is silly
You go around willy nilly
For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too


Having a vivid imagination can be a blessing or a curse. The imaginative mind can produce writing so alive with detail you can feel the event happening. But for every wonderous moment that an imaginative mind can produce .... it can produce an equally horrific moment. Combine that with a mind that dwells on the what-ifs of life, and you can begin to see where the curse part comes in.

For example

I can see them together. He is standing behind her, his hands at his waist that move slowly up and under her shirt, until he is cupping small soft breasts. His lips finding the skin of her neck, kissing her soft scented skin slowly upwards. Reaching her earlobe, and whispering to her.

"You make me hard."

I can feel her sigh reverberate through him as if it were my own. Her shudder against him, that resonates through his body, and stiffens him even more. I can see her turning in his arms, her small hands resting on his biceps. She tilts her face to kiss him, and he laces her fingers behind her neck, keeping her close. I can feel my own heart beat in rhythm with his, running faster.

You see? These are the thoughts that occupy me as I sit alone working. It grabs my mind and my heart. It feeds my jealousy. My own desire of wanting to stand in your arms.

And then:

For example I go around wanting you
And yet I can’t imagine that you want me too

That's where my mind leaves me. Spinning in infinite circles.
