Dreams I've invented a girl to get lost in the eye of a hurricane honey blonde curl to get lost in her eyes like tears on the surface of a pearl a condensation conversation 'tween the shadow and the light these lusted dreams I've scattered across the surface of night will they ever fit her right? I've plundered her the brilliance of the ocean now if only I could remember the deliverance of her motions to set me like a starry diamond world transcendence via happenstance 'tween the dusk and the twilight stone busted dreams they stumble into persuasive claws of night could they ever hold me tight? Dreaming, dreaming it's all I ever do when you awaken to softer mornings let the sun break on through to enfold your autumn humming cult of a summer moon dreaming, dreaming please dear dawn don't you let me wake too soon I'm unbending this frown to set my path alight in death throes of a dreary town to get back to being right like a butterfly soul she unwound inside this prideful hideaway 'tween massive fears and a heart too wasted to color within the lines spreading like blackness night will I ever get this right? Dreaming, dreaming it's all I can do when you awaken to harder meanings let the truth ring on through to embolden hopes for anything cut of a despair suit dreaming, dreaming please dear dawn don't you let me break too soon And along, along the painted blue way I thought I dreamed up a redhead girl set in clay come alive, come alive and sing me back my songs on a knife, on a knife I have danced the edge too long I gotta be won't you help me be I gotta be free Dreaming, dreaming it's all I can do when you awaken to calmer tidings let clarity come through to golden days And along, along the painted blue way I thought I dreamed up a redhead girl set in clay come alive, come alive and sing me back my songs on a knife, on a knife I have danced the edge too long I gotta be say you'll help me be I gotta be free free to dream. "I will hang on the hook of your splendor" -Snow Patrol, 'Dark Roman Wine' |

I enjoyed reading this especially the first part. Sounds like a song to me. A poem is never finished, only abandoned. |
