The Dream

Schemes between my fingers as dreams I once knew fade into the blue.  I am a master of many things though my trades carry no weight in your world. What I knew only proved to be false as the lies drip down the walls of my pretend castle I have built in my mind.  I want to escape into your arms once more as I hear your laughter down the hall. Been a long road yet my heart still yearns for more. Been a long night I’m afraid of the sun walking in through my door. 

Can a man be alone, while being surrounded by a thousand smiles from a distant shore?

Can a man feel love without ever giving love?

Can a man feel without ever being touched?

In the dark my mind scattered from past emotions I have yet to unfold I try to make sense of the road where I went wrong. I try to make peace with the devil at my side. You were the one I thought, now a mere illusion someone else is holding you tight. A smile in the dark my heart cries inside for the love you shown. I gave up on traditions long after the full moon collapsed behind the mountain of sorrow.  On a warm sunny day I see you, your radiant blue eyes glistening with a million rain drops the pain of knowing, that I will never understand, the fear of excepting our paths will once cross again from a distant smile I will feel the same way I day on that fateful march night as my breath left my lips, I cursed god in a hidden tone, as an angel walked out that door. My shell cold and frozen I struggle to find the answers within. In a dream you stood in front of me with your brilliant smile you looked at me with an awful displease. In your soft hands you held a golden ring as you studied its curves a glimmer came across your face as diamond kisses filled the air the chandelier above our heads came crashing in its beautiful clash of love coming to an end through me across the room. You stood like a roman solider grasping that ring, then with a sigh a tear from your eye you tossed its golden freedom into the air “heads up, tails down” you say as it spins with such furry I could not tell where the vortex of freedom began and the spiral of my demise came to an end. Three, four it spun we watched with anticipation as it hovered in mid air. Hours into minutes, minutes into seconds and seconds into bites of a lost time, the end has come my friend you say with a grin. Dropped to my knees and asked god why you have done this to me. You unfurl your wings with a force as your spirit begins rise into the sky as the devil holds me down.  An evil heart never sees the light and pure heart shatters. with a shake of my core I fall through space in limbo the particle storm ravages the ground I walk on. An alarm sounds I come to my feet the sun has reached my door I scream for I have not yet put my demons to sleep. In the light my shadows know no pain, in the flicker of candles I am the man behind the still frame. Faded and torn, undated yet very much adorned.
