Graveyard Coffeehouse

Once Upon A Dream

---

My heart beats
Like a drum of war
The erotic rhythm
A blood symphony
Of the soldier
Lover
Poet
Madman
It sings for you
My love
As it has cried out
Throughout the centuries
To hold you
In my arms
To possess your soul
To taste it
With my tongue
My manhood
To merge my spirit
With yours
Somewhere
Beyond time
Distance
Space
I sense the warmth
Of your body
As you lay dreaming
Drinking in your beauty
In the darkness
Peering
Inside your window
Standing
Beside your bed
So close
But an eternity away
I defy Death
To hold you
In my arms
Making love to you
Skin on black leather
Until daylight arrives
Forever
Will never be enough
Time to love you
Like I want to
Completely
Trapped inside
Eternity
Damned
Until our lips
Touch
Like being cradled
In an ocean wave
That brings you
To shore
Tasting
Paradise
For an evanescent moment
Once Upon
A
Dream.
