Singing dreams

Pondering thoughts of images I had only a moment ago,

lost within my eyes drifting silently so loud my ears hurt.

Vanilla hopes in strawberry fantasies cold,

rain on me my hopes falling deeper into despair.

The taste you left on my lips woke my dreams,

reminding me of a hope I have in our desires.

Do to me the very imagination pictures painted in words,

falling away to the depths of love so warm.

Holding on for your whisper screaming in my eyes,

closing blindness deafening the natural feelings thought of.

Sink your teeth into my soul, drain me of all emotions,

taste my bitter heart of yesteryears broken between.

Lost in your sight to be found alone together in your arms,

all finalities ending the start of life bringing death.

Kiss me, kill me, hold me so close I can’t see myself,

deeper into the shallows drowning in your love.

Shower my heart with the blood only your tears understand,

figure me out so confusing task fearing I am not afraid.

Salt agonizing painless slices of flesh deteriorated,

infatuated soul bleeding lust for love sympathy falls.

Attracted to unattractive feelings remembered in my sleep,

unaware so flamboyant hiding in plain sight my eyes.

Black clouds bringing light so bright the rain hurts what I see,

deceived by deception lying to truth’s unwilling compromise.

Twilight giving up to daylight sunlight kissing moonlight,

in all ways light in this love seen as beyond beautiful.
