Eyes closed, but he says he sees
A beauty drifting through his dream
She's graceful as an autumn breeze
Smiling at her stepping feet
She doesn't know
He loves her so
Or that there's reason why
But climbing hopes
Tell them they must
Meet after the night
After they wake,
Outside of dreams
Where he can love more consciously.
With wide arms and patient fingers
Sliding through her tangled tendrils
A smile so loving, the world is mangled
Melted, blurry, softly swimming
Sun rays shatt'ring tinted glass
Reminding lovers of a wish they breathed,
Living dreams,
And memories that last
Recent passed, but return with ease
Burning like a wick
Flames have teased
It would come
Their time, the sun
The minute when, the strings they spun
Hold earthquakes fast
And catch the bug
The perfect love.
More than fleeting battles
The war is won.
