Dreams
Nights see lonely Hearts painfully weep
Where secret Desires often do creep
Escapism is but the only way
To keep the Soul and Sanity at bay
A Forbidden Love grows ever strong
And everything will go far wrong
As the star-crossed Montague and Capulet
Bold Romeo and his fair Juliet
In Dreams Lovers do meet
Fear not crossroads that lay at their feet
For in this realm fantasies come alive
And in these moments they thrive
In Dreams the Reign of Impossibility
Holds unquestionable sovereignty
In Her kingdom every Wish is granted
Every single Prayer answered
In Dreams Solace often seeks
Gently brushes tears from stained cheeks
Patiently placates the insatiable
Lovingly mends the breakable
In Dreams Touch is pure bliss
Lips to lips we Kiss
Skin to skin we Burn
Passions run amok at every turn
Alas! Harsh Reality usurps the throne at Dawn
The Battle is lost and Hope withdrawn
Stark Daylight shatters the enchanting spell
Leaves behind Heart’s hollow shell
