The sun is up, but it is
darkness shadowed by eclipse.
The air is calm, but the wind blows.
I stand alone at the edge of this dream,
lost in the labyrinth of my mind;
while my lips touch gently the lips of a rose
and my eyes see the blood drip from its silver thorns.
I look upon its beauty with these wounded eyes,
I find not her face, but her heart inside
and to touch its beauty with words of love,
only takes its toll upon this heart of mine.
I seek her love inside the meaning of dreams,
I find no answers, just confusion and pain
that tear at my soul with questions of why
and pulls at my heart just to make me cry.



If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.
John

Ah John, the sadness...

Karilea
If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
