Come, Let's Dream
Come, let’s dream
Wept this dream, my thoughts they fill
Take me from this weary place
Where darkness screams a painful chill
In torment of the mind does race
I wait here thick of splintered thorn
My tears they fall upon the seed
In hopes the bloom of perfect dawn
Will light the way of what I need
My hands are sore of calloused fear
Scars my skin they carve a line
Neath bramble branch of broken cheer
Abreast of this near mortal time
Your hand I long of feathered feel
So soft the touch, my heart does wane
These eyes, a love to then reveal
Within your arms, ignite the flame
Lift me, I am frail and weak
Desires but the breath of you
To breathe within this soul I seek
Allowing dreams to mend the true
Or shall I die alone this eve
Beyond the moon of wicked glow
Lost of every captured dream
And nothing more I need to know
I fall to this, my final peace
Lost, the dark impedes the light
Then bow my head, oh fear, now cease
And bid farewell this lonely night
When there, atop, a shadowed form
With torch in hand of flickered fire
Eyes so wide to fend the storm
I reach for her with deep desire
Upon my brow a single kiss
Of angel wings in silken twine
“Arise” a voice, melodic bliss
“I’ve come, my love, to make you mine”
The sun appears on northern trace
As flowers bloom in petals fair
Of wishes I do cast this place
My fortune now to find you there
“Come, let’s dream, let’s dream as one”
You sing to me harmonic voice
“And fall in love till time is done”
My heart has only but one choice
We leave this place of fractured doubt
My hand in yours, no longer pain
A feeling but the need to shout
Dear heavens, thank you once again
For I was lost, a wilted soul
Alone of this and every breath
Of counted stars to take their toll
Awaiting but my coming death
And now my world has filled the brim
With love I find so full inside
My dream is you, has always been
No longer do I run and hide
So now we dream, we dream as one
Such beauty does my life exceed
Perfection to my sight has come
Sweet angel, all I’ll ever need
Good night Soupers
