Chimera - 2nd Place

She's a spark of my imagination 
A colorful dream that drifted away 
A flaring shadow of my illusion 
A true April fool in the month of May

Her memory was like the evening rain 
That drifted away by the light of dawn 
Acid rain that burned the lobes of my brain 
Fire that scorched the bright seeds of my spawn 

Her bright smile was like the blazing sunrise 
But her heart is capped by dark shadow 
A cloud that eclipsed my sun on the rise 
A grim sky without sunshine and rainbow 

She's a nightmare that hunts me in my dream 
A veil that muffles the sound of my scream
