A Blind Man's Dream - Part One

He fell into a coma
Into a long sleep
Not knowing where he is
Or where he would be

“Where am I?”
“You are where you are supposed to be”
“And where is that?”
“The land of the loved, the lost – the land of eternity”

“Will he ever wake up?”
“It is hard to tell”
Trapped inside.
Cocooned. Shelled.

“Search your heart; what do you seek?”
“I seek a woman who will love me for me”

“Is it not a lost cause?”
“Why would it be so?”
“Look to where it has gotten you to, to where you are lost…”
“’Tis true”

Simple features
Of a hand
Difficult things
To comprehend

Life calls up
On what it seems
Like examinations
On a military playfield

Princess
Princess
Of my dreams

How are you?
Where are you?
And how do you sleep?

I miss you
In my arms
I need you
To clear away the harm

“It is better to have loved and lost”
“Than to never have loved at all”

Rivers of passion
Fields of grey
Has doomsday come?
Because there is no soul in my place

“Why can’t I move?”
“You are paralyzed by reality”
“Which would be…?”
“Strength. Honor. Nobility”

“Would he live long like this?”
“It is hard to say”
“Give us a guess”
“Cases like this are dismissed, most probably, by the end of the day”

“Is there nothing we can do?”
“Hope and pray”
Terror. Grief.
Come what may.

The sunset in my eyes
The stars of delight
Where the moon may shine on your face
My first ‘love at first sight’

Hand in hand
Fingers tight
Together we would be
‘Til the day either of us dies

“Should I scream?”
“You cannot”
“Should I try to run?”
“You cannot”
“Should I hide from someone?”
“Even if you tried, you cannot”
“Then what must I do?”
“The dreams you hold in your hands. The reality on which you cannot come to comprehend. They tell you lies. You – should find... the truth”

In the quest for love, hope, and fame
The reality of which I play is just a game


The beach. The moon.
The sky. The stars.
The truth, of which I am so eager to live for
It is not even beyond me – it is just too far

What I ask for
Is more than the truth, it is a heart
The heart of a woman
Who will love at first spark

What, how, when, or why
This is the truth that stands in face of all the lies

Injured inside
Hurt below
Life just keeps on playing with you
Just like a casino ball

In the end of all this
No accomplishment is made
Just look
At the price you have paid
---------
“Princess
Princess
Of my dreams

I have failed you
I have fallen
I have been deceived

Forgive me
For I am not worthy of your heart
Nor of the truth
That lies within our hearts

The enemy is upon me
The barracks are in the rear
There is not much hope for us – me
My death approaches me – it is near

I ask that you
May carry on with your life
And not sulk
On the whens and whys

My heart is yours
For the taking
I love you more
Even after they my soul, take me

Live and let die
Only the honor will vanish into the clouds up into the skies

But in my heart
I will always have this dream
A dream
Of having to spend eternity with thee

I love you
For you are not a flower
I love you
For you are not a cloud
I love you
For you are not the rain
I love you
For you are forever to me…”
