FEELING UNLOVED

I saw you walk away one day
It seemed so subtle at the start
But I could see that in your eyes
A phantom dream tugged at your heart!

While spring was young and innocent
We danced together in the rain
Time had so little meaning then
Did not that phantom call in vain?

But love built castles in the sand
No wave could wipe its memory clean
Except that through the setting sun
The phantom’s shadow could be seen.

The winter’s breeze began to blow
Its blazing embers once so bright
Refused the warmth of its embrace
And chose the phantom’s foolish flight.

But dreams are never true to life
And phantoms only follow dreams
So lets wake up to life’s new day
And drink from Love’s eternal springs.

THE PHANTOM OF VALENTINE

I saw you walk away one day
It seemed so subtle at the start
But I could see that in your eyes
A phantom-dream tugged at your heart.

While spring was young and innocent
We danced together in the rain
Time had so little meaning then
Did not that phantom call in vain?

But love built castles in the sand
No wave could wipe its memory clean
Except that through the setting sun
The phantom's shadow could be seen.

The winter's breeze began to blow
Its blazing embers once so bright
Refused the warmth of its embrace
And chose the phantom's foolish flight.

But dreams are never true to life
And phantoms only follow dreams
So lets wake up to life's new day
And drink from Love's eternal springs.

I HAD A DREAM

I dreamed of you last night
I can't explain how scenes unfold
It was a strange mysterious sight
Like chasing phantoms through the night.

Your shadow passed my misty view
I tried to follow close behind
But soon your presence left my gaze
Like howling winds on fire's blaze.

By chance I heard the enchanter's voice
Who told where love and beauty hide
I followed hard to find its lair
With longing heart to find you there.

But dreams are only waking thoughts
When sunlight meets the dawn
Subconscious scenes proclaim their worth
Like movie pictures giving birth.

Yet if I fall asleep tonight
With shadows passing near my bed
I'll take a closer look for you
And pray to have my dream come true.
