of dreams and nightmares

rainbows painted in shades of dusk
coveting amaranthos love in this hollow husk

pinning praying silently waiting

waiting for this nightmare to end
only to be left playing pretend

of little hope maybe a day

crimson tears smudged with rain
heart sullen and grieving in pain

for deep slumber without pain

the sun rise and set yet again
the cruel time passing with disdain

to a place of dreams without nightmares

searching for the warmth of loving arms
to only live on pitiful alms

of a beautiful mirage within reach

these fleeting moments of happiness
only to be evanescence 

where love and joy are in abundance

nothing will ever end
but the moment when hearts mend

on the day the last breath is taken
