Tall Tales

Talk to me
     and tell me tales
     of riches beyond reach.
Moonlight walks
     on star dusted paths
     of a distant, sandy beach.
Make me feel Like a princess
     if only in my dreams.
Rides of joy
     on the wings of a pony
     dancing between sunbeams.
Spin a story
     of lavish love
     told to only me.
Drunken on
     the spirits of tales
     that I wish could truly be.
