Hopes Don't Die

She lived in a cottoned house,
Where everything smelled like rose,
Her ribbons flew in the rosy air,
She danced on the tip of leaves.
Sun shone upon her like gleaming gold,
Beams filled her sapphire eyes,
Her heart was some crimson dew,
Thoughts pure as white.
She every night sat under those million stars,
Stars above like scattered jewel,
On green soft land where she sat,
Danced along the fireflies.
She felt the endless universe ever night in her eyes,
 As she dreamt of first flake falling from the skies,
Heaven she had of her own, in her heart she stored,
Water from the fall, washed her sore soul.
Behind this cladded mystery girl,
Scars found its place to hide,
Those sapphire eyes and childlike heart,
Will soon regain their life.
She lived in a cottoned house,

Wishful heart she carried inside that cottoned house.

Dreamers Dream


Dreamers differ in dream they dream,
From heart to eyes they speak of dreams,
Dreams of love, words and strings they dream.

A little boy dreams of bright sky,
To see his dreams flying high like kites,
A dreamer dreams of dream unfailing.

The men I meet too have dreams,
Riches to gather and lock in vaults,
They gather more for maybe their final call. .

I see the dreams differ in every way,
Rugged man that in corner lay,
Dream was different of his in every way.

Eyes waited for little grace,
Rugged he laid for a resting place,
A drop of water somebody just poured in case.

Dolls, ribbons and tea sets,
Wish she had the finest,
Dream of this little girl, separate her from the rest.

Girl she will become the flawless,
Dream of a boy she dreams the best,
Love to her must come the one so perfect.

Dreams I see they all have different,
Mothers dream of children to be perfect,
Fathers dream them to be strongest.

They dream of a perfect little world,
An isle for their children,
The immaculate  drape, the perfect prayers.

I too have a dream and the dream shattered,
Now a new dream of silence,
Dream to die a dream to be frozen in my cascade.
