Dreamscape Lover

* A collaboration with the awesome Liam McDaid

Fair maiden who sails on each crested wave 
Drawn from the deepest ocean currents 
Galloping white steeds landing on golden sands 
Within each beat growing stronger feelings 
Exploring beauty inside this magically universal dream 
Developing under every passing moon
Joining with shadows we unite souls 
I see a starlight shining so brightly, blinking 
Destinies promise to join our kingdoms 
Each one bringing you closer into the heart 
A thousand gifts wrapped over and back 
As silk white ribbons inside out beams upon your grace 
The greatest pleasure is dancing with your love under the moonlight gaze 

On the horizon, darkness approaches
Ominous storm clouds from the north
Fear in your eyes as moon turns black
Steeds neigh in the maelstrom
Utopian dreamscape becomes Dante's nightmare
You release my hand, thunder shakes our universe
Lightning illumes the sky casting ghostly shadows
I call out to you as you mount your beast
But alas, the cacophony drowns out my pleas

Waking up the eyes sting, salt based 
Missing someone special with whom I shared once upon a time 
Lost inside the loneliness, nowhere to turn 
Stuck within a bubble of feelings 
Where someone will never leave or hide away 
Standing for a moment in the cold morning mist 
Listening to the crows call 
Haunting thoughts drift upon a cloud 
With picture memories stored, deeply beautiful 

Tonight, I will once again close my eyes

and dream of you
