A Dream of Hearts and Heroes

A Dream of Hearts and Heroes

A Poem by writerofshadows

What more
Could I possibly want

Than you

 

A night with you

 

And more

 

But that alone

Would be enough

If we were free

For that night with you

No fears

No lies

Only us

Two hearts afire

 

And in that night

Where two souls conjoin

We lie together

Heroes in our own dream

Lovers against all odds

Conquering the insurmountable

 

We will be modern Romeo
And his beloved Juliet
Fighting against parents
Who neither understand

Nor care

 

We will be the children

To teach they’re unknowing parents

What true love is

 

With passing seasons

Time fades

Everything changes

My love will stand

 

Fate brought us together
Then plays us apart
But if it toys with our hearts

Then we will cease to join its game
And we’ll be Fate’s greatest enemy

We will fight the current

And choose our fate

I see before us
What could be

What should be

And I see how fragile it is

 

If we could escape into the sunset
And hide amongst the stars
The darkness will conceal us

Enshroud us in the night

And sustain our dream

Our love

And we will be one

Two star crossed lovers

At peace for a while

 

For one night alone

This cold stab

Of fear in my heart

Of my losing you

No longer exists

 

But then the dream ends

And we return to reality

In the coming dawn

With all my power

I would chase the sun away

If it were only enough

To sustain this dream forever

To keep these arms

From turning empty

 

If I could have

One free night

I would give my love

And all I am

 

But the pain of losing you
Envelopes me soon after
These heroes of this drama
Heroes of this tragedy

Lost in the age old rift
In the despair

Of a love torn apart

By those who do not understand

 


When the world crushes

Hopes and dreams
Hearts and loves

We are ripped from each other
By the raging currents

Of a fate all wrong

 

Every fiber of my being
Longs to give to you
The love you so deserve
To live the dream

And to keep this ending

From turning to a tragedy
But in this night

I keep all fears aside
In this one night
I will hold you in my arms
And we will be our own heroes
When our love conquers all
