Only a Dream

"Only a Dream"

I possess a question
Of which to you I beckon
For your honest answer
My dearest tiny dancer
What is the truthful meaning
of someone seemingly dreaming
dreams never dreamt before?
Of strangest people, oddest places
Wild eyes, ecstatic faces
Acting bold and without fear
My soul is sold- I belong here
Entwined in fantasy forevermore
I ask you this, and nothing more.

Please appease me as I ponder
My thoughts and dreams often wander
To a place that is forbidden,
In this space my dreams are written.
Please follow me: no hesitation
(Let us ignore the implications)
Deep inside my mind.
I beg for your reply
Even as you ask me why
But the reason does forsake me
As the blackness overtakes me
For you, I search and try to find
Only here, blind leads the blind.

You search my face for reason
Relish in temptation- treason!
But you can't deny the fact
That my eyes they do attract
A certain curiosity from within
So I taunt you with a grin
Eating at you evermore.
Yet the question idly remains
Will you let me drive you insane?
And curb your wild appetite-
Hungry for such unreal delights
However dangerous, you seek more
These devlish eyes you do adore...

But, tis only a dream... and nothing more.
