When you can’t quite run the madness out
and it follows no matter what ever you do,
listen to me for there’s truth in my dreams
that speak of a guardian angel with you.

From out of your skin; how could that be,
my lover, dream lover, speaks quietly
and we cry together tears of the heart
for he must leave me to look after you.  

“Come back, come back!” I shouted in vain
to the madness in you running, running,
and no poet or me can adequately pen
the very deep feeling that came over me.

My love on the street, his shadow with me,
to both a goodbye till the madness runs out
and for me nought remains but the memory
and the knowing that you aren’t ever alone.  

You’ve stolen my lover till next you should sleep  
for dreams, you know, are never complete
until in daylight we understand more
and merge two parts into one wholesome heart.

It was only a dream but perhaps it could be
there’s a part of us all we cannot see!

I'm seeing several different storylines here, Helen...all quite compelling, and all quite needful...

and it takes a whole heart to divide itself so well...

even if "only a dream"

and perhaps someday Lady, a dream come true

You are some very special artist in your own...and will someday be what you already are, your going where the rivers flow...fabulous writing and perception...
