DREAMS

The warm breeze that comforted is no more…

Welcome to the time where all is silent, where emotions die

Where inner fires rage and nothing to clam this new tempest

Welcome to the land of emptiness, well not quite

I've been here for some time, you've been here before, but then

Only dreams, dream on.

Sailed, drifted, but now deviated. Sadness in the dulling heart

On the sea to nowhere, the rain falls, like it once did

Running far from further

Once upon that time, did two lovers entwine

Welcome once more to the silent voice

The voice that hears all, but is never heard

'Surrounded in isolation, falling in the circulating breeze

Desperately and harshly stares across a darkness into a darkness

Silence…

On and on it goes, further away, further apart

In nights like these, the blindness takes its toll

The only ear is severed by unholy alliance

Deep within ourselves

The treachery

The vanity

The deception

Why should we care?

The empty hours, the real belief, this sphere in all its glories holds no happiness

The melody, the soft caress in oblivion

Time runs thin, the void deepens

Returned to the plains of despair

And wallow in the ashes of dreams

At the end of the world, remain.

In times like this, to wish only to drift once again over your eyes

You never said you'd stay until the end

More love in one tear than in the words a thousand times over

And thousands have fallen

Love the forgiver, love the creator, love the healer, love the happier…gone, but never that far…
