Asleep in my world of darkness
cushioned in the sky's velvet clouds
Hidden in my dreaming slumber
feeling safe within the night's blue shrouds
In the distance a man stood smiling
beckoning me towards the light
Juggling his light and my darkness
entertaining a future so bright
Magically drifting my clouds his way
while his smiles hid his own sorrows
He continued to cast his magic spells
and sent me dreams of our tomorrows
I have kept my shrouds about me
and I think I am dreaming still
For I feel I am still safely sleeping
within dreams that he has fulfilled

Sleep to still the waking fears;
seeking sweet release from tears.
Taunted by her own torment;
grieving loss of time well spent.

Soul that's lost to wishful dreams;
outer vision not what it seems.
Lost herself so long ago,
tortured by the life she knows.

So to sleep she seeks her prize,
far away from prying eyes.
Alone to feed her strong desire;
contentment for the raging fire.

Non-consuming, yet burning deep.
Safe to self, her secrets keep.
The soul of her is mate to none;
bare no witness to deeds she's done.

Yet still the promise of her slumber
as she by demons is outnumbered,
proves it's falseness to her plan;
deserted by compassion's hand.

Twisted are the hands of fate...
as to her, the dreams relate...
jesters, whom with hardened hand
shatter all her well-thought plans.

Adding fuel to feed the flames;
nightmares that repeat again.
The tauntings of her wakeful days;
all her hopes of dreams betrayed.

Transported again...
to a place in the clouds
following a path,
that leads to my love.

Transported again...
my soul set free
embracing the illusion,
of my fantasy.

Transported again...
to lie in his arms
reveling in the sensation,
of our passions unleashed.

Transported again...
to peaks of extasy
sighing with pleasure,
as we drift to sleep.

Transported again...
to the waking world
remembering the fire,
that burns in my dreams.

As day turns to night
So the moon shines bright
From behind her veil of clouds
My beautiful Luna reclines
Laying on her bed of stars
Bedecked with a misty glow
Sweet lady of the night
Beneath us the sea and land
Stretch out as far as we can see
Sweet princess, let me hold you close
To gazes into thy darken' eyes
Whisper words of love to me
As I gently caress thee
Eye to eye, time stops
And in a dreamlike trance
Our lips slowly touch

I fight to sleep,
wanting only peace
but the dreams always come.
Night or day, it matters not.
All that is required is my presence
and it is I, who must sojourn alone.

My eyes feel distant to me
as if peering from observation
in the corner window
of my soul.

All boundaries dissolve
Helpless, I free-fall
swept away to the darkest burrows of my core.
Where I am held between existence and death.
Whisked away into an uncharted abyss.

I am as a being, an entity
without definite form,
a float upon the silver blanketed fog,
which dreams so often unfold upon.

I lay here undisturbed in bodily form.
yet, my heart races as my willful
mind fades and in humble earnest begin to plead.

"Whomever guides this journey,
please tread lightly
through this soul.
I have become just the
weary eyed passenger
looking for solace in a tranquil rest.
Carry me upon the wings of angels, I beg.
Take my torment, pain and endless shame away
if, for only a moment."

A hauntingly familiar voice,
distant but clear, responds..
"You cannot hide from yourself.
It is Me, Myself and I."

I close my eyes and
In my dreams
you are there
waiting for me
I can see you
feel you
as if were real
we ride the stars
and surf the milky way
knowing all the while
our time is short
we dance and love
we kiss and sing
our hearts full
our spirits one
our union is prefect
intense
 your kiss
your touch
linger making me content
when we are one i am complete
...sigh....
oh dream lover where are you
when i awaken???
Waiting  in the stars lover mine
for our next dream of fulfillment
and love.........

Sleepless and restless, I toss and I turn.
Praying for sleep as my weary mind burns.
Wishing oblivion, hoping for dreams,
Desiring enchantment, as the night seems
So long and so empty, alone and afraid.
Hoping for nothingness, so long delayed.
Tossing and turning, is sleep so far off?
Why can't I sleep?  Oh, the pillow soft
‘Neath my bruised head, as turning once more,
Slowly I slide to the stages before
Real sleep, and as I gradually slip down
The path of the nighttime, sleeping, I frown.
Deeper and deeper,  I fall into sleep,
Meeting myself in the places I keep
Hidden from others, oh, I shall not show
This weakness and terror, that only I know -
Of  clowns and of jests that live in my dreams.
Protect me, sweet Angel, beneath your soft wings.
Turmoil and trouble await me at day,
Please, my sweet Angel, please show me the way
To peace and to rest, oh I long so for this.
For comfort and sweetness within thy soft mist.
Give my thy comfort, and keep me from harm.
As children, we're given these words as a charm.
But maturity knows childish comfort no more,
We face dreams alone, and we tally the score
Of the promises broken, the hopes unfulfilled.
And awakening, must carry on again, still
We never cease hoping, we keep going on.
For dreams can't hold terror in the light of the dawn.

As the sleeper dreams
The moon rises
The night grows deeper
Then comes slowly to an end
Setting of the moon
As the new day begins
Rising of the sun
Mid-day comes
And passes by
Return the setting sun
And again the night
Once more the sleeper awakes
Walking in the night sky

As I slumber
The dreams appear
Resting so softly
On the clouds tears
Slowly creeping through the night
A stranger does appear
Stepping ever so quietly
With each step he nears
But as I watch
As each step he takes
Wondering quietly
Will I now awaken
Oh passing time
The hours of sleep
The dreams....… Sweet dreams
My heart does leap
The visitor walks
Moving always nearer
Ah! What is this
Is not a stranger
Reaching out
A guiding hand
I am not alone
For here he stands
By my side is he now
My heart now reaching
Not a stranger but love
His guiding and teaching
Oh sweet dreams
Wonders of the night
Dreams of the heart
Sweet slumber in the night
Star_Fire©

You are on my mind when i go to sleep
And with me always when i awake
I feel Your hands gentle caress
And Your heart as it beats with mine
My love grows stronger
With each passing day
You are my world
And my life spins around You
Glorious is our love
No one more dear
Traveler of my mind
Maker of dreams
Step lightly
And lead the way
For you are my guide
The leader of my dreams
The keeper of my heart
As i sleep each night
Closer you near
Our love stronger
Our love is dear
Walker in my dreams
Leader of my heart
Step lightly
Maker of my dreams
Spinner of my hopes
Going forth to tomorrow
For our dream is nearer now

In the stillness of this night
Quietly, I lie here beside you
Watching you sleep.
I gently brush your cheek with my hand
You do not stir.
A soft light glimmers through the bedroom window
From stars shining brightly, suspended in the sky
A mist like blue, gray cloud passes over the full moon.
And a lingering smell of lavender fills the air
From nights candles that have nearly burnt out.
Where are your thoughts my love?
What do you see in your dreams?
Who is this nocturnal jester who has
Carried you light years away from me?
As you lie here so peacefully beside me,
I softly kiss your forehead, my fingers wander
Through strands of your amber hair and I wonder
If I am the guardian of this night,
Who is the keeper of your dreams?

Tantalizing, she beckons you closer
But you're afraid to approach her
Left exposed to your gaze
She sets the fires ablaze
Your pulse quickens, your mouth runs dry
Your breath escapes you with a sigh
Moving forward through the haze
Keeping her always in your gaze
Reaching out to her with a trembling hand
In the darkness you are left to stand
As she vanishes from your sight
Slipping through your fingers in the night

He walks into her dreams
Each and every night
Awaits for her to fall asleep
Then takes action on the prey
He comes from beyond the shadows
A place entered by no one
Yet this is where he calls home
She lies there so innocent
Not knowing of her fate
Or that each and every night
Her dreams are invaded
Dreams are not reality
You hear the people say
But there are exceptions to the rule
For when the dream walker visits
There is no fine line
Between dreams and life
She lies there unknowing
That her dreams are not her own
Rather the nightmares that awake her
With a horrifying scream
Came from another
That, my friends
Is the truth of the dream walker
Epic Myst©

What do lonely clowns daydream of
When there is no one around for them to love
Is it women warm and pure of heart
Or lusty loose vixens sweet but yet tart
Does the face paint hide all of their pain
Or just distort the truths they cant explain
When they dare close their eyes at night
Does all of the humor fade from their sight
And at night when the lights finally flicker out
Do bad dreams make them scream and shout
Or do their dreams make the truth twist and bend
A clowns wet dream of a lover who was just a friend
