that sends you always back
to lay your head upon my breast.
Simple, soulful, sympathetic, ...just so lovely!
It should be set to music. :)
Once
no, twice
oh, many times
i've sought to set
a man to dream a dream
or run a race and win a prize
not for need to ever offer
myself as the intended
trophy, wanting only
the joy of seeing a
man set free to be
to dream and do
that one thing
for which he
was created
sure, i am
the world
is better when
men dare to dream
and dream of daring
yet, if he dream of me--
oh! if i were to only be
the muse and dream of such
who'd see my heart fair and fine
full worthy of a daring chance
no! if he not hear this--my siren song
my pleasant invitation to ruin
then might he survive...
and surely never would
he dream again
but merely
sigh and
swim for shores
more gently favored
