Fever Dream

I once had a dream as the world fell apart
I looked to the seas, where the waves never start
Arresting the flow of the thunderous tides
The shore parting ways from its union of lies

Displays of the truth hiding inside the cracks
Magma that rose from the lives taken back
The ones left behind turned mountains to ash
Such Beauty in bliss! Their virtues to cash 

A lone house defiantly standing in tragedy
Time like eternity, displayed through calamity
Fallen angels solemly singing in cabinets
Bursting timbers, like splinters inside a kiss

The memories destroyed of a boy in the corner
Finding beauty behind broken minds of disorder
He found a former smile with his truest of hearts
New eyes opened wide; they ripped him apart

Remember the chaos, she whispers to me
Awaken the dawn of possibilities
Remember the smile you earned at the end
Gasping for air in the absence of wind

Darling you know, I was thinking of you
I thought of your smile; a morning light view
Just know that I'm free of the tides in the sea
Silently calling me to release fallacies

No thunder inside to bely my disguise
I'm reaching eternally without compromise
I'm silently, patiently guiding you through
One day you will see what I know to be true
