The dream
Words though jumbled I read
Sounds that whisper loudly speak
The breath of fingers grace batter
Two tones blind in vivid colors seed
Thus goes the dream ever on forsaking
More real than this dream of waking
Burned in lucid lies emptied grace
Ever on this dream keeps me waking
With one, two, three jumps flight
Off the ground I contend with my wife
Along my side in stride the fear
In time alone again I will leave her this night
Her eyes plead with anxiety growing
Faster she runs but never a leap
My hand I hold out that she may take it
Terror in me now watching her steps slowing
Side shows the freeway man dances
Promises to all of live ever lasting
Myself he would stop were he stands
But my lie is that I teach my wife of fates cruel chances
Further on now we move still no trust
My wife blind to the souls in the sky fleeing
Pleading I slow to grab her up
But those that command say she must on her own thrust
As the dream fades to day I fly alone forsaken
Watching my wife run ever on alone
Out stretched hands crying to be by my side
But never once was trust from me taken
Into the sky further I go
Then her tears heard I stop
Falling back to ground by her side I rest
The dream broken in the dream fades slow
She knows the gift I have forsaken
Out of love of her I gave up life
Her eyes full of hate
Her words to me are of her hatred of me
How could I leave her for the light
Then come back leaving it behind for her
Showing her how she has hurt me
Thus making her out to be my death
She sees only this and never the love you hold
The open arms out stretched
The will to ease her pain
Only that in her eyes now she is a monster cold
And my every action is a knife in her sigh
Twisted by her own hands
No matter how it is spoken
You’re the one that makes her feel this lie
So quick now is she to start the fight
Even when words are meant in jest
A lighthearted plea for closeness
Rejected with harsh words and a pleading never leave her sight.
Is the dream that which is shaking
Ground under my feet broken softly
Treading ever more lightly so as not to hurt her
Or this knowing the dream that is waking
And every day is night
And each dream more alive
I fear our love might come unbound
If soon I do not open my eyes poor blinded sight.
And with that eyes open seem
Her soft breathe a comfort
The darkened room all round
In comfort it was only a dream
