The Fires Of The Night
I dreamed when I was younger-of all that I could be.
And when I dreamed - I was different from the man before you this you shall surely come to see.
I dreamed that I should be stronger, There would be nothing I could not withstand. I dreamed that my Life would be most perfect, from the fortress of my land , to my wallet and my Lens.O the things that I could dream the things I longed to be.But Time . . .it waits for no one - and it made no compromise for me. As with the rolling of the tide each dream was lost with each Moons rise and soon all that was left , was whom I have become.
These eyes have aged from all that they have seen. .I wish to move I mean to run but my feet they never move the fear - it's very real. I'm Not a bleeding poet who opens his heart to watch as the paper soaks it in . . .every inch of every word painting the stars for hearts that seek love. I know in whom my heart believes and that faith that whispers "You're not as broken as it seems" , it is very familiar to me.
I view My life through a broken Mirror I fight to pull the image together it's a fragment from a failure, I believe that I'm the one that's broken.I'm the never ending Joker . . because I never found the Dream when it died I misplaced the real me.But this heart it knows in whom it has believed . . .in whom it has believed.And though no man spoke of the darkness wrapped within reality that plunges ones Soul into the drowning depths of despair - I shall walk these halls tonight And become quite familiar with my night. . .I shall go down into it's depths Burning Down My fear with the fire from my day.I shall find myself . . .I shall . . .Make my way
There's a Truth that I've seen, a Truth when I dream . . .like a prayer from the breath of Life-watch as it Sparks a Flame within the cellars of the Night. . .Watch as though it Rains and the flood waters rise . . Day burns through the heart of Night. This flame is alive burning bright. I woke to find I was the Demons in my sleep the one with disbelief - I shall rise and be more than my hurt now left in the dirt .
I dreamed when I was younger but This, This is the making of who I am instead.
