Haunted Dreams

My cheek with hand you pressed
As rain poured slowly down
Others saftey you did stress
I quieted you with a sound

You realized what came next
My cheek still in your hand
I told you truthfully yes
No, I could not stand

Together we cried in stress
And kissed one final time
My cheek with hand you pressed
As if a fatal sign

Then while I breathed in pain
The last sign of distress
You held me to the last
While my cheek with hand you pressed

Phantom

The remains of one striking face
Haunting eyes in hollowed out cheeks
Following movements
Accusing at a glance
Only longing
For what once was
What could be
What never shall be
Again

A Midnight Wish

A Midnight Wish

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

Haunted eyes that burn so bright

Pray that good times never fade

I feel I am measured and weighed

Should my soul be heavy or light?

Beautiful dreams that elude and evade

The sun is so bright there is no sign of shade

No color at all, only white

Pray that good times never fade

A seeming then, A home that’s made

A happy family, feeling so right

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

When the time comes to end the charade

Will it be easy to give up the fight?

Pray that good times never fade

So I’ll not be moved or swayed

To my true feelings I’ll hold tight

Beautiful dreams that elude and fade

Pray that good times never fade
