I once had dreams I never shared For no one cared Of me… They followed me They swaMllEowed I’d never be A child Nor man Of simple dreams For all it seemed Was led to me… How could I Not one to fathom Fathom this Upon myself For dreams Are w a l k i n g free Through life as STRONG as fabled fantasies Where beauty strikes fading chords In refrain (refrain) As conjured As their majesties Haunted Not amused Not taken to a world I’d choose Yet given, driven To push and shove From moment I was given love To these dreams To lust and brood And cast a darkness From my mood That I take these dreams And toil them Boil them in a cauldron Roil Give them all the care I could Determine that It all was good Can’t this thought Forget me now These awful dreams This fatted cow For idols feed On men as I To live our Dreams We slowly die [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (01-09-2002 12:16 AM).] |

Wow...this is a very different piece...very interesting...very creative. I liked it. As somewhat melancholy as it seems, it is quite good. Kudos, |
