• To dream a lover's dream
    Hop aboard a rainbow
    To everlasting solstice
    Where stars sprout like peonies
    And bloom through dawn and dusk
    Of a virgin moon
    Unsullied,
    Unstained
    By remorse.
    Water flows like cream
    Of off thick, luscious clouds
    Of falls.
    Where songs are all you need
    And rivers taste of tears
    Sowing seeds of love;
    Erasing all our fears
    Your heart is worn
    Not on your sleeve
    But in another’s
    Hands.
    Your soul is set a blaze
    A comet in the sky
    You must fly around the sun
    A lovely cosmic high.

    But you peer over the edge of serenity
    To all the lies below
    You see it?
    The last traces of your blood
    The cloud above your head
    You are far away now,
    But you cannot forget.

    Your life is not your own
    A memory all but opaque
    There is a way to stay
    One last stroke to take.

    It calls you back; it pulls at the deepest corners
    Of your mind.
    Your friends, they call you, friends though you have lost
    They may yet loose
    You
    To the world
    Of deepest sleep
    They weep impure tears;
    For they pray for you;
    A contaminated Soul.

    Answering the call
    Your heart will start to sink
    Through the clouds
    of
    Eternal life.
    Farewell, sweet summer
    You’ll see this world again.
    The next time
    The soul
    Is soiled by the
    Knife.
