Rose Petal Red Alone she stands, a stoic figure in the glistening sand; Looking to sunlit sea, crushed roses clutched in crimson soaked hands. The silent roar of gentle ocean waves; Soothes her soul with the balm her heart craves. Her mind casts inward, thoughts lost in warm memories; While her tears are washed away by the oceans salty breeze. Her hands stretch upwards, toward cerulean blue sky; Crushed petals to escape into the evening air to fly. Her memories locked away, her heartfelt good-byes said; The silent figure turns away as the sea turns...rose petal red. Twilight Of Dreams Drifting into the twilight of my dreams; A land where nothing is as it seems. Where fantasy merges with reality; Where secret wishes come true; Where the lines of time cross each other, And I dreamt a dream of you. I dreamt of walking beside you; Our hands joined together; As jewel toned bees flew; From gilded iris to purple heather. Above us a golden sky, a rose colored sun; there's drifting clouds of blue. There's horses with wings, dragonflies that sing; All in my dreamland with you. I long to spend eternity, walking within this dream; But alas, the morning sun is rising soon. Tonight I know you will return to me; Where again we will walk together In a land where reality turns into fantasy.
