Lying Still

Dream is slowly fading
Revealing the end of the ride
Last one through life drowning deep
Into sundown of eternity

Fingers played the final chord
Piano weeps in silence his farewell to the world

Heart lying still
In nightmare agony
Longing for the dark dream
Beating to caress a memory
Lost thought too dear to lose

Deathbed above dreamless night
Unveiled core of his life
Darkest dream playing him real

Castaway eyes to see the last scene
Smile of a beauty crying for him
Veil fell down for the last time

Poet’s memory wrote a verse in need
Lost wisdom in every word’s heart
Scars still unleashed painting a dream
Drawing him in the dark

Lost memory
Slowly dying
Cadence of the dark dream
For a heart lying still
In the night of last snowflake’s bound
Caressed by lost childhood memories of heart
