Sweet Dreams...

Sweet Dreams
Written by L_one from the book "The Path of Everyone" copyright Feb 2016

Sleeping in a field of dreams
You fly across the sky
Knowing how this night will end
Will make you want to cry

Try to find compassion thru the ashes
And offer one last dance
But it's the Devil's ball and I was hired
To arrange the dance

Soft and peaceful in your bed
You seem to feel no pain
But say the demons in my head
"Their lives they take in vain"

So with a kiss upon your cheek
Your misery I now must end
No place in life for all the weak
A law you cannot comprehend

I run the ice across your skin
And watch the flow of wine
Glowing red from all your sin
Maybe now the light will shine

Your eyes shoot open unaware
That soon you'll be gone
Three more times your silk I tear
No longer here to see dawn

With eyes glazed you slip away
Your heart gives one last beat
Now at peace so far away
A sense of hope I now meet

I lay beside you soaked in red
Demons dance for they've been fed
But still they whisper in my head
There are still more that aren't dead

And so I kiss your pain goodbye
Now looking for the rest
So happy, tears fall from my eyes
With excitement in my chest

Through the house I go unseen
A lion stalking its prey
With the ice in hand in lean
Behind a sweater of grey

It seems you hungered for a snack
And wandered through the door
Instead you met fate in your back
And fell upon the floor

Try to crawl, try to yell
But you cannot hide
For your sins, you'll go to hell
With one more in your side

Stronger than the one before
You still try to escape
Wobt go further than the door
Now I tie you up in tape

Now we'll play a little game
To see how much you'll bare
Without a finger, without a hand
Until nothing is there

So tell me, is it like your dream
You've worked so very hard
To have your wine flow in a stream
And from the light be barred

A cry for help makes my heart race
A smile upon my soul
Run the ice under your face
Now wine flows with no control

Such beauty all across the ground
A homicidal night
With two more gifts you make no sound
It's time to say goodnight

Hands painted with your pain
From my eyes now falls the rain
You took all you knew in vain
I rescued you from world insane

And now that all is said and done
There is a brighter light
And so my quest has just begun
I vanish into the night...
