Hard Dreams

Hard Dreams

Hard dreams and twilight schemes
Around the mystic moonlit fire
Danced the sparks of sham desire

Dashing everlasting dreams

Hard dreams and winding streams
Up the staircase slides the fool
Splinters pierce his pants of wool

Hard dreams end in silent screams

Trapped in a cage of white disdain
The bonds of love grew into pain

Hard dreams and so it seems
Life's likely pace is now replaced

Searing loss of sovereign embrace

Hard dreams of love's lost dreams
Alone you stand without a care
My heart reminds me truth or dare
