Close You Eyes

Close your eyes now,
Leave your halcyonic daydreams behind,
And reside within the fantasies of our minds,
So close your eyes now.

A love only found within the pages of a storybook,
Generic in look and disguise,
But, underneath this publicized blanket of lies,
A truth of hatred and despise -
Yet, I know you still witness the memories,
Where we shared another lifetime,
Or perhaps those days are simply pieces -
Fragments of my imagination from the bowels of my mind,
But, I still hope for yet another chance,
I still hope for another dance - So close your eyes now…

Close your eyes now,
Leave your halcyonic daydreams behind,
And reside within the fantasies of our minds,
So close your eyes now.

I beg for your return within my silent prayers,
To help ease this passionate burning,
A deepening yearning for your beauty to break through the mist,
And as our hatred and loathing fades - And drifts away,
The words we’d whispered - The words we’d say;
Echo through my tired mind,
But, casted aside by shadows and shades of candle light,
I remain hopeful that we can handle another dance,
Another dance of devotion - So ease back your thoughts,
Ease your emotions - And close your eyes now…

Close your eyes now,
Leave your halcyonic daydreams behind,
And reside within the fantasies of our minds,
So close your eyes now.

I wish I can hear it as a melody. I love these lines:
"A love only found within the pages of a storybook,
Generic in look and disguise,
But, underneath this publicized blanket of lies,
A truth of hatred and despise"
Make me remember one of my old poems here when I joined WC, entitled "Concealment".

Thank you.
