Like lightening striking it's bolts of fire

It shatters and burns the most unlikely ear

And into it's depths there is torn

The foundations of once a strong heart

Lying open and vulnerable to the blinded eye

Guarded, protected, it is held within my breast

Within my soul's realm it does live

A life within it's own it pleads for release

Gagged and bound, in silenced form

It must continue to live out in the shadows,

In the mist of the forgotten dream

Threads of comfort torn to shreds

With one small token of kindness

I crave what life as is, can not give

When in my mind's eye I yearn to hold,

To cling to a dream that takes me beyond

Beyond that realm of safety and reason

Out into the Shadows in the mist.........

Out to the edges of calm I roam

Do you feel the flames that boldly leap

To kiss your face with heated breath

Lips that burn with desire caress your face

Leaving their traces of scented beauty

Only to be smothered by reality, it fades

Fading out, out into the Shadows, out in the mist of time.
