sadly

 
in your lonely hours do you reach for me in your thoughts
reaching in and touching my blues
racing across the sands in the emptiness

entering into a knowledge of our souls joined in a serpentine tenderness
willing ourselves to rise and travel with the northern breeze
exchanging our philosophical beliefs

stringing our dreams along starlight
in the darkness, you reveal your monsters
and I look at them with haunted eyes
exchanging the plainness of my face then letting it fall away
and I show you mine

exploring each other's dreams
a moodiness of the divine
a soul's transformation
lingering over the pools of fate

you look in and see how long I've waited for your soul
shifting in the energy I see
compared to you and your journey I am quite young

I am admonished you desire a darkling like me
challenging and yet still learning
finding wonderment in each breath
a young one desiring an old soul

to take me sailing in the abyss
a space pirate ready for exotic ports
a lady in waiting with much to learn

about a man of value
you calculate the odds with me
I see you return to your dreaming

the wheels of fate turn and choose our next destination
I am chastised honey he isn't yours to hold onto
seduce the moment but realize it is fleeting

I sulk in the moment
but Daddy I found him in my dream
kindly he tells me this man belongs to the world
