Oh my little dream thief, what have you taken from me?
I sleep through long hours, yet you are all I ever see;
Captivation entwined with this kind shyness like mine
Producing sequences of the universe behind my eyes.

Oh my little dream thief, what have you taken from me?
Come nightfall, we make music like cosmic symphonies;
Soundtracks for our lives; breathlessness left realized,
But never have we departed in tears as the time so flies.

Oh my little dream thief, what have you taken from me?
Are you the elixir that will cure my heart’s every injury?
Drawn back was I, when you first arrived in my reality;
Now, as memories multiply, my hope regains its vitality.

Now, in your eyes, I see true beauty in silver shades of sleep…

-sighs dreamily-
That is absolutely amazing...and the dream thief repetition actually brings on a very dream like state...
Like I feel I am being lulled into a comfortable sense of security...
And you've stolen my awareness and thoughts...
And have become a poetic felon...lol
Very well done. ^^
You never cease to amaze me...

Suddenly your words set an image, clouded over with wonder and mystery... saddened with the awaking of reality. beautiful :butterfly:

Very pretty piece. Started a little stilted for me but I really really enjoyed the third stanza especially. Built to a nice crescendo in my mind, helped along by the repetitious opening line. Great work :D

A heart at the end of its' tether
Swiftly descending into blame,
Pain lasts only a minute,
Resounds through generations forever;
The aftermath, it spells my name.

Sorry for not keeping up with your latest works, Daniel.

This is simply suberb. Really pulls at the heartstrings. :)
