Dreams Woven in Starlight
Under the vast, starlit sky,In a star-spun velvet blanket, IWish I was a dream like you,Woven through a night made true. Spectral threads of waking dreams,Entangle in dawn’s gentle beams,In embrace, the world’s quiet chord,The Sun and Moon in love, adored. Enamored constellations resound,In symphony with silence, profound.Night has its day but dreams never end,In…

Hope
I lived a dreamThought mine for I, The hero in yours – Dreams that pass time, Weary journeysMortal and divine – Sightless sight, Faithless prayer, Too soon too late –Never fair. Walking into your cageWith the key, Whispering… “You’re free”.

Strangers, patiently
Starlight is my guide and my heart has flown,Into the embrace of tempers known,Must I catch a star and put it in my pocket,To escape the intensity that beckons me? The journey is endless but the distance none,I have run to the light of my brighter sun,Standing here and waiting with darkness for you,To step…

Your Lullaby
You’re not sleeping in this burning world,And you’re afraid of dreaming out loud,Afraid the flames will get a taste for you,Be left a prisoner of your forlorn desire.I’m not going to lie but I can be present,Walk with you through judgement of fire,With the seeds of affection we’ve sown. Maybe it’s the weather, or a…

Emily’s List
You don’t know how to have me,This matchstick girl’s dream of fire,The circus dancing around you, The fame that gets you higher and higher. I don’t want you to fall beloved, Tell the preacher I’m keeping herUp there in the rarified air –This wish in my hands forever. Let go of my balloon Our lies…

The Wishing Tree
Sitting under a staircase of stars,Next to her brother’s love and her sister’s gifts,By an ancient and undisturbed tree,Listening to the sounds of its strange fruit,The sounds of wishes bright and pale,Drifting through the wandering branches,Like explorers in search of new lands,She hears a sailor stranded at sea,Wishing a mermaid would end his suffering,And the…

A Girl Called September
You took me out to a sweet Midsummer’s dream, To tell me all about the sleepy Shadow’s play, And the two hands it takes to move the darkness The Lady who gives, and the one that takes away. Feeding those pretty vampires at the petting zoo, I gave them a little of me, you gave…

Falling, Not Flying
This age’s forlorn, my beloved husband –How the wind and the stars played with us,And blew us from our dreams back to life.Our bliss could render the journey eternal,But in that devotion you followed too closelyTo the piper’s song, and danced to fanciful fare.And became as Ramesses to his statues,An afterthought of time beyond wonder.…

Echo
The broken eye looks into me to pretend,This working mirror that flatters Mr Gray,Like a dagger twisting into his image,The pantomime prisoner of a moment,He is a silent shadow upon my stage,That drowns light in puddle mirages,Until I realize I am playing poor girl,And a dream is just time lying to itself,If we never wake…

Cloven footfalls
I look at love in her stride,Running with wild horses,And I wish I was as free. I look gentle in that mirror,Held together by a strength,That is my world as a song. Thunder beneath me,Wind behind me,The world in front of me, Racing dreams to the dawn. There is music in the sunrise,That takes me…

Mirror of Dreams
Hyacinths are blue for a bright chanteuse,Silent white in a crowd of colours,Holding a bouquet of crow black dreams,Waiting for an emerald tip in a ruby slip,To bury these ragtime riches deep. Through the darkest mirrors and with love, I’m a whole reflection smiling at a moment,Chasing a velveteen rabbit across the sky, Falling stars…

The Sky is Falling
Penny is playing at castles todayTides come and wash them awayShe thought she’d make some plansMaybe find some better sandsOther children so happy in their wayIt seemed so simple just to play,She took her pale to happy spade Spoke of the greatest castle ever made, They laughed, she cried, she went awayNow she works instead…
