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.
