in dreams I dance and drown a while
ensorcelled by your siren style
enraptured in feigned memories
of love you never gave to me
and pathways walked in other times
call to me as if they're mine,
casting shadows falsely true
of all the things I dare not do...

..and all the things I'm not
to you...



Wrapped in dreamtouch softcontrolled
I turn and look away
From mirrors hard, unchanging, cold
Reflecting one more heartless day,
One more day of solitude
One more day of duty,
I look instead to windowed worlds;
I blind myself with beauty.


And the magic you're bringing
Exquisitely stinging
My soul and my words fall away;
These moments distorting
This vision I'm caught in
This trap of such mad disarray -
Come the day...



Inside my mind's perfected lies
Your heart is mine alone
Idyllic love in endless time
Majesty divine enthroned,
Divine imagined evermore
Divine imagined fiction,
Vainglorious and gentlecruel;
This impotent addiction.


In phantasmic creation
I see through elation
The truths that I want to believe;
For worlds formed of reasons
Instead of these treasonous
Passions and dreams to deceive -
Let me breathe...

But the magic you're bringing
Exquisitely stinging
My soul and my words fall away;
These moments distorting
This vision I'm caught in
This trap of such mad disarray -
Come the day...


Come the day
Come the day you do not turn away,
That you stay...

..from dreams I dance and drown within
and make a sainthood of my sin
embodying feigned memories
of love you deign to offer me
and pathways walked in other times
come to me now truly mine,
as shadows cast now come to be -
but these are sights I'll never see;

You're all the things I'm not
to be.

The rhythm I found myself reading this to seemed so familiar, it's a flawless flow, I always like a good rhyme and yours always seem to be different enough to feel fresh, and the content is always captivating and poignant

you've always had melody, but this was like a full fledge concerto. you blend literary genius with emotion to make movement of words. just astonishing...-l-

i hate rhyming poetry but the way you do it is so perfect. there is no struggle between the words. it flowed perfectly. i read it kind of like a song. "from dreams I dance and drown within and make a sainthood of my sin"

"I look instead to windowed worlds; I blind myself with beauty" - perfect metre and texture. A beautiful collage of reflection and longing. I like the way I see the word "Sing" in the title of these lyrics. Clever. Speaking of which: Do you sing?

To my perpetual disappointment, I am a crappy singer. My lyrics are written through characters' eyes (from my nowhere-near-complete trilogy); in my mind I know the tunes, and the voices, perfectly...but am not at all capable of actually singing them myse

"..from dreams I dance and drown within and make a sainthood of my sin" Many absolutely beautiful moments, imagery & intense rhthymic schemes... this rhymes lovely; very well thought out. "Exquisitely stinging" Yes! Exquisite. Bravo!

& I love the clever title...it purrs perfectly. ("in dreams I dance and drown a while") ... fantastic final line. Again, well done (your writing has been missing for awhile, but this one Sings...)...

a wonderful piece, as always your rhyme and meter are purrfect. Your writing brilliance is as dependable as the sun rising in the morning, and like the sun I am constantly dazzled by you. xoxo
