Dreams

Rolled up sleeves
Palms in a fever
Passion my gloves
Heartfelt forever

Denied the golden light
Entangled in shadows 
Reflected out of sight
Into pain's dark corridors

Dreams are a beam
Illuminating the darkest night 
Ever bright never dim
From within like a flashlight

Memories I can't post
Steps I can't retrace
Shackles of my past
Cast a cold embrace

Mind's in a twister 
Unwind a timeless Rolex 
Brooding a rollercoaster
Prayers in a vortex

Dreams are a beam
Illuminating the darkest night 
Ever bright never dim
From within like a flashlight

Rolled up sleeves
Palms in a fever
Passion my gloves
Heartfelt forever

Dreams are a beam
Reaching exhilarating heights
Ever bright never dim 
But only if you’re willing to fight
