taking colours she has stolen
from out my sweetest dreams
she paints a journey
leading from my heart
through crowded rooms
and whisperings
to my waiting train stood long
now ready to depart
pastel shades of blue become
golden fields aflame
casting jewels of sheer desire
\'cross the canvas of my soul
pulse of passion clouds my sight
as light of reason slips
and brutal urge within creates
needs beyond control
the early hours reach out
and crawl to light of dawn
where hearts lay fragile, tender
beneath a quilt of fear
emboldened love reassures
in passion now re-born
and hesitation \'ere within
lifts her veil and disappears
