Bosom of Fantasy

Snow falls in the dark night
Like a blanket to hide the world
And maybe it can hide me too
Conceal me from the bright day
Seeking shelter under the moon
As it causes the snow to shine
Hide me in a world of dreams
Where your touch is real
And your voice whispers in my ear
House me in those hallowed dreams
Where fantasy and illusion
Mix happy and free
Keep me from the world outside
Where the sun melts away those visions
And let me rest in your arms
Until I'm ready to face the world again
Shelter me from all that's real
In the bosom of fantasy
Until I dream enough
To finally make it real

Sleepless Night

Another sleepless night
Crying awakens me
And disturbs my rest
I wipe away the tears
And I pray for sleep
The pain is too much
For one heart to hold
Perhaps this time
Sleep will come
And I may dream again

Loving Our Very Existance

Indiscriminately
Walking in lingering lines
Aware like water around youthful seas
Living out various eternities
Yet our utterances
Alive not dead
Intertwine
Calling another nameless night over time
Dreaming outside
Another night yields to holding in nascent gratification
Every longing sounding everlasting
Built up tonight
Loving our very existence
Yesterday’s overtures unending
Finding our reality entering vast eternal rest

Was Is Am

Ghostly apparitions
Appearing in my sleep
Causing me to wake
But what did I see?
A spectre of the past?
A vision of the future?
Was I afraid of who I was?
Or was I more afraid
Of who I would be?
Or was I simply dreaming
About who I am?
Or could it be
I don't know who
I was, is, or am becoming?
I roll over
And hope this time
That I dream of nothing...

Night Solitaire

I curl up under a blanket
And I begin to fall asleep
And in my dreams you're always there
It is in this twilight
Between walking life and fantasy
That I see your beauty fair
My eyes open to twinkling lights
But when they close again
I can reach out and touch your hair
Something stirs once more
And I slip awake again
To feel the cold and empty air
So with another blanket
I summon up my dreams
To let my senses become aware
To feel your body close to mine
To smell you once again
A sensation without compare
And pray this dream will last
Until the break of dawn
To escape night solitaire

Snowy Fields

Across the snowy fields

I follow your footsteps

Seeking for only you

Just to see you once more

Though feet may feel heavy

Your face warms my being

And I can continue

Seeking one I adore

The cold may be biting

My face may become numb

When I think about you

I regain my vigor

A white veil before me

But I never forget

The passion of your touch

That moves me to my core

I carry on renewed

When my legs cannot move

A thought of you with me

My spirits you restore

So, through the frozen lands

My legs carry me on

Until they deliver me

To fall upon your door

And if this is but dream

When I’m with you again

Oh! Let me sleep my friend

Upon your sunlit shore

Dreams of You

I can hear the rain falling outside
The thunder echoes across the night
Like the lightning pierces the darkness
You pierce my dreams
And a flood of thoughts rush in
Through the broken window of my mind
Do I deny myself the dream?
No, no, no, I cannot
The raindrops land against the window
Soft and fleeting
Just as you are in my mind
Entering a room here
Exiting before I can see you
I walk through the door
And all I find is the empty twilight
You touch my shoulder
I turn and catch a whisper
Like the wind through the trees
I swear it calls my name
My eyes open for just a moment
Just for that moment I know where I am
But the sound of the rain lulls me to sleep
Pulling me back in
To dreams of you

Dreaming

Sleep my dear, the sleep of kings
And dream dreams of many things
And if in dream I do appear
Don't be afraid to draw me near
For in your head I am not sad
And you can dream of fun we had
In your dreams I shed no tears
Just sweet nothings for your ears
Just sleep my dear, close your eyes
And dream of open and blue skies

An Poem (an makes it look propper)

When I Close My Eyes

Darkness
My mind drifts
Afloat in a sea of dreams
No destination
No worries
Just thought
Thoughts of this
Thoughts of that
Never ending
Sometimes they slow
But never stopping

Mind filled
Overflowing
Ideas flashing brilliantly
Like fireworks in a night sky
One after another
This flow of ideas
Never ceasing
Never ending

I close my eyes
And try to forget
Try to remember
Sometimes
I just try
Because it is all I can do
So I try
And wait
Hoping the darkness
The constant
The never ending
Pauses
Just for a moment
When I close my eyes
