Early morning dreams

Am I still in your dreams?
Or have you shipped me away
To the place that holds Band-Aids
That were cast aside after
The wounds had healed?
Have you sent me to the land
Of things all but forgotten?
Or am I where old lyrics rest?
The kind which resurface
After you've slept and
Which come till the tip
Of your tongue where it
Sits for days just to remind you
Of me, my name...

I dreamt of you again last night.
Brown eyes flashed,
Specs put aside,
Arms holding love strong.
I dreamt of you again last night.

The Act

You swept me off my feet,
Showed me visions in my sleep,
Taught me I could go on and dream,
Told me it's tied at the seams.

You spun me around in circles,
Called me yours and beautiful,
Told me now, always, forever,
And vanished when I surrendered.

You built castles in the air
Which I thought had foundations,
Could never be damnations,
Yet turned into lamentations.

You found me in my weakest,
Built me up like the greatest,
Left without word at the end,
The act was over - the end.
