Dream Visage

Taken in by the traffic
And hounded by the storm
A neon shade filters
Across the floor

Out through the window
I see an August rain appear
Though I can’t see you
I know you’re here

The night chills on
And wades itself into the air
I drift in and out of the scenes
I’m unaware.

My hand reaches through your face
And down through your frame
Then I awake; It’s not the same
It’s a silly game

But it’s you; oh it’s you
Underneath the glowing light
That hides within your eyes

And though it seems
We’ll never meet again
I close my eyes and pray
The dream will reappear

It won’t be here, it’s very clear, it won’t be here

White orb fades
To dim lit mirk
Cradled fields
Are now unearthed

Running once, falling twice
Streets have changed arrayed streetlight
Creatured swamp once was home
The ‘Dark Man’ is coming and you’re alone

Alone at last, see your hands
Bleed into welcome sands
Feel the ground, sink beneath
Out of breath and out of sync

Swallowed your throat into fear
Tonight you know, the ‘Dark Man’ is here

It was you
Underneath the glowing light
That hides within your eyes

And though it seems
We’ll never meet again
I’ll close my eyes and pray
The dream will hold me again

I’ll face another night
Another lonely day
I’ve gone so far
So close and then
The morning’s here
