A Broken Dream

I met with an angel on the way
Dumbfounded by her beauty, a word, I couldn't say

She felt like dew under moonlight
Soothing was her smile, peace was her sight

In white she had those invisible wings
Purest of souls, finest of beings

I followed her through the boulevard
Tiptoed my way through, wandering like a lost lad

She looked back and i couldn't hide anymore
All glimpses felt short, I realized i wanted more

I ran to her and she threw her wings around me
Gone were my inhibitions, I felt light and drowsy

I dozed off and woke up in a different world
Where things were heavy and my soul felt furled

A dream she was, a reality I am
Dream of absolute hedonism, was her world in which i swam

I will fall again in her inception
Will pursue her to define this connection

For I believe, it will no more be my thrashy bed
But where I wake up, for once, will be her arms instead
