Requiem for a Dream
She came before the night
as in day, i knew only what laid before
that in night, that in night should be
she was as, as promised to the other
so i speak in hand, her beauty seemed
so succulent as in a dream, in hand, so sweet
her lips perched red, in horizon's tongue
so often did her hair draped around, the veils of dawn
whose gown did slowly rest upon her shoulders
of mornings quiescent yawn, and so it goes
my memory, o' my memory slowly grows
and so does fate, plunge my soul
into worlds i've never known
and now she's gone, a lover's fate
before the 'morn, whose beauty rests
on Apollo's wake
now so i speak, to repent what sins
did this man slowly raise his fist
to break the silence ever more
and so she goes, the lover before the gods i seek
to test the faith, of lovers before, my love, could ever, could ever
come to know, she is gone, now in beauty, now in time
all which comes before, this lover, i had thought was forever
now true love is shown, before my thoughts ever came to know
Passage to another life, another time, when two beings eclipsed
and entered into this dream
a dream of love
a dream of pain
all in ecstasy we were
and this is all we wanted to be
