I Am Life's Nightmare...You Are Eternity's Dream......

i am life's nightmare...on the edge of a breath i come and invade the thoughts and dreams
of my victims; seeping in like a cold liquid.......

stealing the warm breath of the ones who sleep this night; i lie in their wake, humming
tunes that belong to luna.....

singing songs that are my own, with a beauty so fine; i await my true love to come to me, 
only those who know what is loved and what is feared.....do they flee. 

dancing around a moonlit glow; singing the songs of lovers that swim in the air around me
and lay around like a quilt. 

i await you. to come to my side, i see you in my dreams, i see you change.....you grow
pale, and frightening....

you whisper in my ears against the skin of my neck, "your wings stretch far, you soul
glows with a brightness that mine didn't have....." the words you nuzzle in neck, sink
deeper.....they plant roots in my brain.....

pretty soon, i have a longing.....a craving......to see you again......

i long for you to touch my thoughts, to creep your fingers along my spine as i do you....
i am your nightmare...living amongst men who crave a kiss each passing time.....you are my
dream, stealing kisses from women who wrap their arms around your body....wishing you to
join them in their sleep....

we appear in dreams , as the dreamers do sleep.....
we give them kisses on their noses, as they drift in to a slumber too deep.
