Portal to Paradise

Within reach, felt with fingertips
Yet it seems so unreal
A far-fetched fantasy, so compelling
Just my ideal
Pitch black strands flow in the breeze
Tucked to reveal
Flawless emerald gemstones shining
Like a portal to paradise

A picture's worth a thousand words
And says nothing at all
This moment can never be told
The way it was felt

Certain but unsure - a price to pay
The sparks were withheld
Just in case they might have dispelled
The portal to paradise

Tick tock, the tick beats the clock
I'm ticking again
But for so short a time
Though every single second counted
And so did the signs
Both the scenery and the architecture
Made the night sublime
But still not as pretty as you

May you accept the gift I offer
A ruby to match your emeralds
Then we'll meet for a wander
The best kind
Behind the portal to paradise

I'm taking another step through the garden
Lost in the spring
But none of the flowers can catch my eye
'Cause I'm ever hypnotized
By the Portal to Paradise
