Tired

 

Welcome to the hotel insomnia

where there is no chance of sleep

no soft pillows on which to rest your head

or fluffy white jumping sheep.

Loneliness is a frequent guest

who plays mind games with your head

there are no pills to soothe you

or no comfort in your bed.

Ticking clocks and rolling eyes

tells me restlessness has set in

pacing the boards at half past four

should be classed as a cardinal sin.

My mind is beginning to ache

as the sun begins to rise

she's the only one that knows my pain

and hears my insomniac cries.

Enchantment

 

As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep

I see the land of enchantment

Where love greets my feet

A magical world that's forever exciting

A spectrum of colour

Forever inviting

So many journeys to have

So many different people to be

Tonight what to do

Where should I go

Then you show up and at once I know

A mission in black

On a wild dazzling horse

Robes swinging wildly

In the swift, strong wind

A special adventure for you and me

To the oasis of dreams

And the eyelids of trees

This friendship is forever

Your my best friend

You were there from the beginning

And I know you'll be there at the end.

Dreamscapes

 

Sail away on the sea of hope

Bound for the land of love

Walk through the valley of dreams come true

Whispered magic of earthly powers

Harmony floats upon the breeze

Fingers of twilight caress the land

Like treasures of wisdom evading my touch

The fading light, a velvet blue sky

Carry me away into the night

Search the sky for moonbeams

Touch the sea of tenderness

Place the silver moon in my hands

Touch my heart and my soul

Touch the one you have come to know

Touch the thoughts of my mind

Touch my life and you will find,

The castle of everlasting love
