Lost Island of Dreams
Oh! little ship of stars
How you sail on spent dreams
Oars dipped in my torment
Raft of heaven, silent myth
Sweet rainbow of delight
Float past dreams
That only I can know tonight
Wafts of incense, shadows rent
Candles flicker-dull and bright
Set sails of black my gallant knight
Ice tipped sunbeams,lost island
You were once, my zodiac
Adrift on a selfish sea
You are not my reality
Sail to the memories, I kiss
Lest we should both forget
An endless, frozen sea
Between a paradise of bliss
