Road of Crystal Dreams

On the road of crystal dreams
this Lady passed her life
where Knights were what they seemed,
protection from the strife.

I wove my world of magic
to shelter from the storms,
a harbor from the tragic,
my lonely heart has borne.

In my imagination
Knights of old existed
to stop the conflagration
of dragons fiery twisted.

Stalwart knight would slay the beast
that ate my very soul
and then daringly release
hidden fear from deepest hole.

Long the years in dreams I slept
building castles in my mind,
holding back the tears unwept
through life's struggle self to find.

Then my Knight of dream appeared
and woke me from my sleep,
my heart he gently speared
and invaded spirit deep.

And a bond the fates decreed
of half souls God split at birth,
and he took me on his steed
as we wandered heaven's earth.

Beyond lance and armor bright
I saw heart of tender care,
and a golden gentle light,
and a visage ever fair.

And he saw a sleeping Rose
morning dew would softly kiss,
and the petals would unfold,
drink in thirst the loving mist.

And he dreamed to trace soft lips,
gently lay his mouth on hers,
and of passion deeply sip,
soul's passion softly stir.

And each day the love bond grew
as we walked within our dream,
and my Knight stood tall and true
his love a guiding beam.

But once blossomed was the flower,
fate then strew the path with thorns,
and shattered crystal tower,
and his lady left forlorn.

So in dream we will remain,
for in life he's honor bound,
but in true love lies no pain
only bonded friendship found.©
