When I'm dreaming


I don't understand why I can't unlock the wisps of light

that flash in my mind in the middle of the night

Thoughts captivating imigery vivid and bright.

The songs, the tunes and melodies take flight

on magical carpet rides to fantastical places,

So many tantalizing sights,smells and interesting faces;

fleeding footprints on the sands of time 

wisked away without any traces

Lovers collide on clansdestine journys ignite passionate fires;  

moments burnt into memories consumed and destroyed by obsessive desires 

The morning comes and I rise all my fantastical stories vanish right before my eyes.
