Locked dreams

My eyes send a droplet of a cry

It hits your face on the piece of art and runs quickly by,

Leaving me dry, doesn't wet, doesnt' soak through to make it real -

And you're still smiling looking at me, but not really me

Because I'm looking at you but you will never see

Reality is police that locks up dreams

I stare long and hard at its soft detail and fineness

Then close my eyes to revise its memory

But all I hear are sirens , faster and louder of misery

Their radar has detected this dream that is free

They must arrest it before more damage of fantasy can flee

Snatch it from my heart and take it away

Lock it in an envelope to suffocate its rays

That once shined upon me and left me pray

That one day we could have found each other someway

A picture of you and I

Never to be mine -

In the control of reality

Lost but never to be found

I can imagine it being shut in a corner

In a far away room

My life on the outside has been left to gloom

I'll always memorise what you meant to me

but reaching an understanding that we could never be
