A slight illusion that brushed past<\/p>\n
A waking dream behind the shadows<\/p>\n
A deception waiting for a spell to cast<\/p>\n
On a bewildered mind beneath its sorrows<\/p>\n
The silhouette of a whispering lover<\/p>\n
Impassioned thoughts revealed in a dream<\/p>\n
All mesmerizing beauty within that tower<\/p>\n
A fall into unknown fantasy it may seem<\/p>\n
Legends from meadows far away<\/p>\n
Misunderstandings of words not known<\/p>\n
Fantasies of thoughts that continue to delay<\/p>\n
The flame of mind to rekindle after being blown<\/p>\n
Beyond all limits it rests for sure<\/p>\n
And tempts all to dream a trance<\/p>\n
Even in its pain is a cure<\/p>\n
For each lost it is a whimpering chance<\/p>\n
What to speak of the visions that live?<\/p>\n
From celestial gardens to these minds<\/p>\n
A truthful fabrication is all it gives<\/p>\n
Yet it lives in all of our kinds<\/p>\n
