A Dream of Forever

A Dream of  Forever




Paint to paper 
A dream of forever 
However far away 
No matter the distance 
The colors still remain
To capture the memories
Lost in the grave 
Or in the midst of everything else

What we choose to remember 
Whispers amongst strangers
Fading away as do dreams 
Fireworks and chandeliers
A spectacle, 
All the rave 
Close the curtains and dim the lights 
Others could do without 
Sticking their noses in our house 
Hands over eyes 
As the day dies 

I hold onto the  hem of your shirt
For as long as I can hold a grip
Of our time on this earth 
Trying to comprehend 
Why it all came to an end

The sun is in your eyes 
Stars are in mine 

Barefoot walking in the grass
Bury the lights that have you trapped inside your mind 
In the dead of night 

Stay if you may 
But only if out of my way 

I fade out in time in the dark of night
Circles in the rain 
Salty waves swept my heart away 

How do you sleep
With all those memories 
Of our haunted enchanted love story 
How dare I call you mine 
A free spirit journeying through time 

Saw me at my worst 
And continued to dig
Deep down into my pit 
With no remorse no wit

The truth is clear in dimly lit places
My glory days 
Shall never fade away
