Title: Dreams at Dusk
Writer: Charlie Girl
Above the stars so distant shine
I reminisce a different time,
The sultry air adds clarity
To memories that lose sight of me.
A twilight message from the sky
Will not come forth from you to I,
I cannot quench my thirst to know,
… I dream a new scenario.
But dreams for me are never real,
They highlight feelings I conceal,
And dreams shall not be shared at all -
(In dreams the needed heed the call.)
In life they flicker like a flame
Priorities - Is fate to blame?
Sustaining ground with people who
Have more important things to do.
I feel a pressure unrelieved,
That you - the one that I believed,
Can still invade these walls that shield,
Reminding me I haven't healed.
But what I have are lessons learnt.
The flame reared up and I got burnt,
On your advice I dared to ask -
But you weren't equal to the task,
Your eyes sometimes look back at me,
They challenge your "nobility"
But my eyes hide themselves away -
Not even I know what they say.
They have begun to judge me too,
These windows to my soul have few
Complimentary things to say -
Each day is just another day…
But this one brought you back to me -
A sad and moving memory.
The stars light up the darkened sky -
And what remains of you and I.
