dreams.

i chase the promise of her glow..



like a lone star in the sky she dazzled me,
and lead me tumbling through the night.
a mirage she appeared before me,
that slipped my grasp but held my sight.
despite the arrows, barbs and spears,
i chased the promise of her glow.
but love she has for that one other,
sent my heart bitter with sorrow
for which no man shall ever know..

original:

with fairy's dust she sprinkles you
and leads you tumbling through the night
she loops and swoops like fairies do
to slip your grasp but hold your sight
ignoring thistle thorn and burrs
you chase the promise of her glow
bur fear has her remain a blur
a heart no man will ever know
