Dream in color

Dreams reside, lingering selfish in my head 

And sweet images leave fragrance upon a dusty bed 

A reckless creature besieged a heart and waits 

Wariness lulls my head unto this pillowed gate 

A face draws near with pride and dawn to rival thought 

Twinkling like morning dew upon the mind it wrought

Here loveliness hath not a tomb, nor stone, nor rock

It draws; it rides on morning to break the gloom 

Dawn strikes long, a fancy cord 

It rattled bones and shook the boards

And held us tight to a colored dream 

That delayed the end of her in me 

Here I pause, pondering long upon this lasting dream 

Where I walked with her into the crest of a bright bubbling blue sea 

Floating there upon the wakes my fingers linger in her hair

As crows shriek high above us like they had no soul to bare

The water heaves up, growing ever restless to pitch me into waking 

I raged and squirm against an end of sweet dreams and in that forsaking 

Reality sacrificed for a lovely world that will forever fade away 

I grasp with childish hands to prevent this dreams decay 

Here dawn strikes long, a fancy cord 

That rattled bones and shook the boards 

It woke the beast that pierced the night 

And held two lovers safe and tight 

The sweetest dreams are never challenged but held tight 

A secret love to deny the world a vision of purest light
