Courtyard of My Dreams
Somewhere far away when the day retires
The dusk sneaks up, shyly like a bride
In the courtyard of my thoughts
Someone lights up lamps of my dreams
And yet without reason my breath becomes heavy
My eyes well up just sitting with my thoughts
As tears flow and light a spark, travelling
Right across the dark, torching the sky at dawn
Such is my heart as lifetime of connections emerge
This heart of mine knows all these deep secrets
Even their shadows cannot be separated
And these dreams are mine and mine alone!
