Box of Dreams

the hell gods have stolen my box of dreams
I fell down a deep port hole
I try to jump along the building tops
forgetting I am mortal

so I sit and worry and twist my ring
and look for my box of dreams

alfred hitckcock and I went hopping
from bar to bar to bar
my fake id got me inside
but the drinks weren't up to par

so I sit and worry and twist my ring
and look for my box of dreams

sex means nothing
drugs can't heal
this world can't hurt me
I've nothing to steal

so I sit and worry and twist my ring
and look for my box of dreams

and I knew love, love sweet and true
but now love is no more
my heart grew cold and my soul grew numb
and I walked love to the door

so I sit and worry and twist my ring
and look for my box of dreams

the cat's in the washer for he was unclean
his yowls I pay no heed
I just sit and worry and twist my ring
but my finger is starting to bleed

The unraveled thread is swept away lost - in the forest behind her. When they come looking she'll be right where she is just watching the clear water stir.

Masquerade

She wears a glittering masque of burnished gold and counterfeit jewels. Lilliputian feathers crafted by loving hands of soft metal cover the face of a solitary dancer. Her dance is free. Her eyes are hidden. All the other dancers stare. Jealousy Lust Fear Wonder Color many eyes Dresses blur fabric  F   A L G L N   I S N  I G   R deep velvet notes The minstrel effectively Entrances Captures Inspires Binds All the other dancers move. He plays for her. He animates her dance. He watches. Singing, primal and low, ballads. Ardent words bind two lovers hearts. Tarnished twin souls Revel triumphant, brave separated only by the dance.
