Forest of Dreams

Wandering the forest, beams of light pierce the thick canopy, the whispers of the wind lead me deeper and deeper,

Oh sweet serenity in the presence of royalty, the fairy princess dancing in the distance motions me to keep moving forward,

Her movements mesmerizing, she glides between the trees, disappearing for a moment or eternity it seems,

Where is it that she leads me, I cannot help but wonder, is all of this a dream? Am i caught in a slumber?

The sun dips below the mountains, taking with it the light, oh serene fairy princess, you still sparkle so bright,

Silk woven gown, adorned in sheer black, enchanting white wings, emerge from your back,

A slumber it may be, though one fact remains true, in the forest of dreams I am closer to you…

Oh, Serene Fairy Princess

Daydreamer

Tempting as it may seem, do not loose yourself in daydreams, for real life is filled with wonders, all the beauty all around us,

The trees filled with flowers and crisp leaves, the scent of which draws all the busy bees, the sun shining through with it’s warm beams, the soothing sounds from river streams,

Take a second to breath in the fresh air, don’t be shy, the birds don’t mind if you stare, take a minute to lay in the tall grass, just relax and watch all of the clouds pass,

Hear the barking of dogs in the distance, hear the secrets the cool wind whispers, just let mother nature embrace you and your daydreams will encompass this space too

Dreamer in a cruel world

She was a dreamer, a believer, filled with hope from head to toe, he lived in the real world, a cruel world, his hope spent long ago,

Always so close, but never within reach, the hope inside her written words, the sadness in his speech,

See he had been knocked down before, more times than he could count, this world had dealt him many blows, that he would rather not account

Now she was on a different path, her road so soft and free, sheltered from the ugly truth of this world’s misery,

But yet they felt drawn together, ironic as it seems, for he sheltered her from harm, as she sewed his heart back together at the seams

Your love, an experience

Your mind a treasure trove, your body a burning stove, your soul a peaceful land, love more bountiful than desert sand

I can’t help but stare into your eyes as they lead me on a new adventure, what an angelic presence, no conjecture, heart to heart, high blood pressure, let our spirits moan with the tone of a heavenly falsetto

Take my hand and fling me to new lands unknown, let us float through the stratosphere, swim the caverns of the deepest seas, dance throughout the galaxies and set our imaginations free, babe become as one with me

You drive me crazy and that’s okay

You drive me crazy, you make my day, you give me headaches, when you moan to play, you drive me crazy and that’s okay, because I wouldn’t spend my time with you, any other way

You’re always hungry, where do you keep all that food, I’m sorry that dad’s not always in the mood, understand that I’m tired and work hard everyday, to give you the best, in every way

Know that dad loves you and you’re his best friend, I’ll always be there for you, you can always depend, bring me your troubles, bring me your peace, we’ll share every victory and every defeat

So sleep sweet my baby, I’ll be here when you rise, you’ll always be my baby, no matter your size

I dream of sleep

I wish that I could sleep tonight, I wish my mind would let me, I wish that I could find some peace, and my problems would all forget me

I wish I feared the demons cheers and the monster beneath the bed, for in that case I could tell myself ”it’s all just in your head”

So why can’t I just close my eyes and travel the land of dreams, the nightmare is too real to me and I can’t wake up it seems
