"A Land of Dreaming"

@Uootem

I can not explain my persistence (for you would not understand).
Why I continue to live in this land of dreaming.
So lost in this fog of memories long ago passed away.

I cannot think of you without tears, (for the pain remains nearby).
Yet, I continue believing in all my created illusion... a faith in nothing, perhaps.
My heart filled... my mind filled.... with so much confusion.

I cannot see clearly the horizon of tomorrow, (for there is the mist of time)
Yet, I am captive of visions of your beauty.
My eyes longing for the glance you once used to look at me.

There is no hearing in the deftness, (the echoes are muted now)
Yet, I am still listening in silence for your words.
The whispers of ancient vows... and the promises of youth.

Taste and touch are numbed, (by the residue of our love once shared).
Yet, my hands are open... my arms reaching out.
But you are so far away, so mysterious... so stirring.

In a land of dreaming... you visit me everyday... (but with ghostly hue).
Is it you, really? Or just someone you were once before?
Is she just a made up dream... or is she still inside you?

Perhaps my land of dreaming is, in reality nothing more than wishful thinking.
But as long as this land exists... as long as I find life in its pleasures...
There can be hope of a tomorrow... when I find that girl again.
