A Dream, a Kiss
darkness threatens
covers all
darkness threatens,
man's downfall
when comes the darkness
goes the joy
when goes the light
goes happy ploy...
...I dreamt a dream
just last night past
of a happy adventure we took
a subconscious repast
We took a ride, drove far away
we saw places bright, 'pon vistas we fawned
the places we went weren't far astray
from the place of my mind, tween dark and dawn
they weren't so great
we stayed not long
they felt like fate
from care we're gone
a strange old house a dark lone cabin
twas dark, deserted, a haunted place
with furnishings old and dusty, spavined
and in this house were you and me
alone and happy, from constraint free'd
And much else strange there of scenery
much that cannot be described
and much faded from memory
when I returned to the world of life
we stole through dens
and crept down halls
we stood and listened
and heard naught but own footfalls
then we stood in a moonlit room
and in crept the mist
we knew it would be soon,
dreams hold no risk
the light was soft
your eyes were bright
our die was cast
the dream devoured the night
we lay sometimes and spoke aloud
we walked a bit, to pass the time
there was no point yet to be found
yet we held hands, a lover's mime
the words were silent, voices muted
the feelings remained, undisputed
the caresses were warm, tender, knowing
the comfort strange, yet surely footed
when we laughed, with gazes locked
we stood in place, all worries stopped
when eyes met, we knew we'd missed
and gently leaned in, for our kiss
