Dark Dreamer.....

Dreams resemble rusted abandoned ships Swept far away out to sea, in forgotten rips Looking to seek out that heavenly harbour To chance faith, anchored within the arbour. Many souls have paced these lonely decks Left them bare and raw, somewhat complex But no one ever dare returned there to amend The damage that was done there, a dead end. There you will see, deep within the black of night Pools and shafts of the palest of any moonlight Dreams that have awoken into a common sight Gently twisting and turning the wrongs into right. Dreaming of being lost in some solemnly place A rare smile, hidden within a glance upon a face Things that were once lost come back into play Within empty shadows of dreams, at end of day. Losing all hope of worries drifting far into there Dreaming of some long lost lover’s kindly care Lasting memories that faded in from far away Haunting my daily visions of many a yesterday. Walking with all my empty dreams in my hand Over stretching empty fields through the sand Dreaming of words that were once never said In forgotten language, never used, never dead. But as I go, I ask and prey you not to pity me Let me and my dreams in my unsleeping be Wake me not until the true dead of the night For to me, when I wake, reality is the fright…. So dare not dismiss the sadly lonely dreamer With his head in clouds, a lost silent screamer For all that he really is, but a silly bumbling fool An impractical simpleton, awry without any rule. Kept at a distance from the intelligent crowd With a raw tenacity, but yet so blindly proud To hear a hidden thought in his twisted mind A listener requires a capacity, gentle and kind. To cope with words that dare dangle and dance Thrown around, all lost within a writhing trance Disbelieving any sense of this un-mortal scream Dare not dismiss the dreamer; as he cannot dismiss the dream….
