OCEAN OF DREAMS 

she is my sun

and i'm her earth

light becomes thunder

your sunshine

i miss like rain

i drank your love

with unending thirst

drinking from your soul

i got drunk on your love

as the wind blew in my hair

the angel came from nowhere

i saw you as a free spirit

when i get very sad or upset

that is where i go

and i close my eyes

take me back to the ocean of dreams

when i was at the beach

watching the burning sun

where we ran

wild and free

laughing upon laughter

as we chased each other

while the sand

kept our footprints

forever

where you wrote you loved me

deeply into the sand

i like to watch the gentle waves

the stirring calms me

in the middle of the night

when everything was real

before i lost my plight

take me back to the beach house

where you keep your secrets

locked inside

together we made love

slowly in time

i moved my lips

i looked deeply into your eyes

and you felt dreamy

i saw the ocean in your eyes

and i

wanting it to last forever

tears came down your face

down your pure cheeks

then down your neck

and onto your heart

your body began to shake

and you said

you would love me forever

with each kiss

i found a piece

of you

drinking your cool wine

from your mind

i saw roses everywhere

all over the bed

my heart's on fire

i saw your love

that you can't hide

you were sitting on my bed of roses

with a deep, dark smile

bigger than the moon

who let out the devil inside of you?

temptation brings me to my knees

as you grabbed a rose off my bed

i asked myself how much was enough?

i had no answer

so speechless

you looked so beautiful

as the room spun out of control

i kissed all over your body

you felt my sunshine

and my dark rain

ever so sweet feeling your love

slowly but surely

you looked so beautiful

your soft sea was flowing

i touched your body

ever so softly as you felt electricity

you begged for more

you looked so beautiful

you cried begging for more

i moved my hands down

to your soft sea

you moaned so loud

you looked so beautiful

feeling your pure love

and all of the unknown treasures

you hide inside of yourself

your whole body and soul

you begged me to make you a woman

with your devil eyes

and crying

you looked so beautiful

i held you tightly

slowly i made a home inside your love

the room spun quicker

as you felt my magic

you knew it would never leave us

when i screamed i gave a part of me

i saw angels over your head

when i screamed, it was over

i held you all night in my arms

knowing what we created

will always be with us

it was the morning

and the bed had stopped spinning

your jaded soulful eyes

punched love into my mind

pure and innocent

full of love

you deeply kissed me

you looked so beautiful

she's very loving

an angel on my knee

sunshine in your hair

in your tear stained eyes

but you looked so beautiful

as you bounced slowly

there in my room

love me till the end

with every word

you made me smile inside

you looked so beautiful

i can't believe you fell on to the ground

and broke inside

i felt your sharp edges

i hate how you feel

i just want to die inside

to stop what we both are feeling

i know you're not well

i want to protect you

and be there for you

but when you're strong

you're beautiful

i wish i could kiss this pain away

holding you in my arms tightly

with every kiss

i rebuild another piece

of your broken soul

gluing angel wings back together again

kissing your heart all over

ever so deeply

angel, i hope you never let go

until i've repaired your soul

hearing your heartbeat so very quickly

as you purr with happiness

you're so beautiful

full of pure love

slow wonderful love

till the sun comes up

it's the future that will make us

not the past

i didn't mean

to be so thoughtless

angel on her feet

flying towards me

with her arms out

seeing angels over my head

whispering to me promises of love

and forgiveness

she's so beautiful

truer and darker

than any angel fear would know

i'm trapped on my island

scared and alone

deep within my river of time

praying with my heart

with each blink of my eyes

feeling my love inside

closing them slowly

writing poems on paper

that no one will see

then sealing them in my broken heart

folding my words

into little boats

true to my words

pushing them into an ocean of dreams

smaller bits

of my heart fall into the water

in the ocean of dreams

shuffling my feet nervously

butterflies in my mind

i feel your words

for i'm the devil inside

i hate being alone

without you

when i should be hugging you

along the ocean of dreams

you are a part of me

winding paths take me back

to yesterday where we were

safe

i wish

i could see your lips

ever so softly

and paint the words

you can't say

forever a day

i’m living in our

own secret world

nobody can

live forever

i feel so cold

alone

i'll burn my poems

for they are dead

memories

and throw them

in the ocean of dreams

you are free to swim

around them

i see shadows

i chase them in my head

i see you there in the corner

looking back at me

trying to stop

from running to you

as quick as i can

i see your walls go up

i fall to the ground

there's a red liquid everywhere

and you are hurting me

with your smile

i feel alone

i want to fight

against the tide

i can't take it anymore

i don't believe in anything

anymore

my dreams are gone

and i can't breathe

ocean of dreams

wash me

save me

for another day

stop this sinking feeling

i'm full of cuts

and a broken heart

i won't fight you anymore

as the water covers me

from head to toe

i see your face in the ocean

i'm swimming

i want to find you

and you are nowhere

i'm running out of air

i see your face deep inside

in the ocean of dreams

i feel so broken

and lost inside

i know it's the end

i can't fight it anymore

i'm getting cold chills

in my guts

i'm crying

the water is playing tricks with my mind

your teasing sea face

within this ocean of dreams

i kiss you deeply

i smile at you

losing my mind in time

"i see us loving love

in the sand"

"i lose a piece of me

every time when we fight"

"it's too much"

"i don’t know what to do"

this is my final time

i won't be back

my soul is broken

and lost

swimming in my ocean

of dreams

don't let me die

i love you

come back to where you belong

swimming in our ocean of dreams
