Dreams and doorways

Was this all just a dream in finding you there,

so cold and loving in my heart so dead.

Your heartbeat still beats to my song,

drums of life where living isn’t an option.

Grave called you there before my time,

I still cannot just give up on you coming home.

In my heart I dream of two paths to take,

reality cries out loud yet you whisper the dream.

Like a child lost on which way to go,

I search for the way I think you might be.

There is purple roses blending into my eyes,

behind my tears where not even I can cry.

Words of love spoken without warning,

bringing me to my knees again.

In my hands I can taste your essence so true,

vanilla lace twisted in silky fantasies.

Lips of honey speaking erotic pleasures in light,

open the door I beg at the gateway to my fall.

Seeking out to find you here in my arms,

find me in these shadows love left behind.

Please answer me for I am dying to hear your voice,

awake to nothing but this choice of two doors.

Was this my doing, was this my fear that brought my pain,

please light my way, please baby open the doorway to your heart.
