 dream within a dream


Crystalline delicate memories matched by obsidian dreams
Spider web thoughts, impossible to lock into place
Washing away as they go tumbling down sylvan streams
Carrying mental images of your slowly dissolving face

I remember you so well, I remember you not at all
I see your face so plainly, now it is hidden behind a veil
In and out of doorways, down a dark and endless hall
I don't see you at all... but I remember you so well....

While dreaming, I carefully reconstruct your face
Until the puzzle pieces shatter and slowly disperse
There are times I cannot find the slightest trace
My dreams turn to nightmares, and worse...



Just once, my dear, could you come to me in vision clear
And could I hear your voice? It would mean so very much
Just once, would you reach out, let me know you're near
It was only yesterday when I thought I felt your touch....

From dreamland I have slowly chased reality away
Slipping finally beyond the horizon of everything real
The labyrinth grows more insidious each passing day
The book is closing and I cannot break the seal....

If ever you come back this way, I'll be waiting here
Maybe you can break the spell and set me free
But hurry please before I shed my final tear
And there are no more thoughts of you and me....
