Nightmares

The night approaches, darkness looming

My sun and diamonds fade

The nightmares await, desperate to descend

A heavy blanket weighs on my heart

In weakness, I submit

and allow my eyes to close

My fear and anguish appear from a mist

I've nowhere to run, no voice to scream

I accept my fate, a choice is made

Down this path I walk, fearful footfalls

A cloaked visitor meets me on my way

My name is known, blood rushing, no disguise

I'm still alone, I cannot hide

There's too much to lose, time is short

A few last breaths, my air gone

I fall deeper into darkness, a black pool

My hands grasps for a rock, my anchor

My strength in desolation

A constant in the swirling waves of night

The heat of suffocation chokes me

And then... at last, a cool breeze

a refreshing breath of air

My lungs fill, my head is clear

I see you in the light... an angel alone

My marble prince, my one desire

has saved me from this hell

He is my air, the breath I take

My sweet and steady sun

As dawn approaches, stars fade to gray

I awaken from my terrors

Gazing down at me, your amber eyes

The golden doorway to our souls - We dance
