Canvas of my Mind

The painter of dreams
paints a portrait
of brilliant colors

A spring meadow
dew droplets everywhere
flowers in full bloom

An image of
dancing elves
fairies floating on air

Of dragon's fire
and unicorn magic
imps playing merrily

Castles in the clouds
rainbows slides
coming from the cosmos

Colors coming to life
with each stroke
of his brush

He is a weaver
of magic and myth
artist of my essence

He's the painter
of dreams
on the canvas of my mind
The Outpost of Time

Sand swept innocence
with illusions of
desert winds dancing

Time elapses
though shifting sands
a hollow destiny

Forgotten confessions
ringing clarity
of youthful days

Slowly found
unscathed illusions
of desires and love

Shadowy memories
delicate realizations
forsaken dreams

Piercing memories
of years long gone
in the outpost of time
On Dragon's wings

I float to slumber land
only to dream of you
to meet once more
on that misty shore

Towers of the sunset
we pass upon our way
in the evening sky
drawing near to you

Shadow of dreams
vague images
coming clear
and known to me

In the kingdom of the night
my warrior returns
to my waiting arms
and loving heart

In the mirror's edge
I see images
of you and I
in an embrace

Shadow games
we play in the night
in the solitude
of our minds

Carried on dragon's wings

I Want To...

Warm you when you're shivering
Caress you when you're afraid
Be gentle when you're hurting
Be there when you're lonely

Keep you safe from harm
Comfort you when blue
Laugh when you're happy
Cry when you're sad

Learn you're secrets
Know you're successes and failures
Know you're regrets and pleasures
Know you're fears and joys

Cherish you for an eternity
Hold you every second
Feel you next to me in the darkness
To know you're every breath

Know you in the summer
Keep you in the fall
Warm you in the winter
Love you in the spring

Whisper I  Love You
