Dusk Till Dawn



Narrative.

Have you wondered what it would be like to escape the routines of life? Have you ever explored your imagination?

Have you ever walked the bridge, which lays between reality and dreamscape in your sleep?

Do you ever close your eyes and open up new horizons or create new civilizations to rule or to destroy.

Are you really who you what to be?

Or not what you want to be?

Perhaps one day you’ll find out?




(Sweet sleep)


High above the mountain range
My senses reeling I feel strange
The clouds are floating under me
Around me only xtc
The sun spreads colors cross the sky
I see my kingdom with naked eye


And I don’t want to wake up
To break this magic dream
The real world I’m a nobody
But here I am redeemed
In this world I am special
And I live for eternity



(A knight’s dream)


A king I am again tonight
And wish a dragon to fight
Just lead me to its lair
So I can rescue maiden fair
Standing in my amour fit for a knight so bold
As I claim scaly victim and reap my pot of gold

So many pots of gold that I have found
I can now have 12 chairs
And a large table that is round
And now I command my knights
And bestow them regal rights


We seek adventure and tread paths - for us that are unknown
Wait while I collect my sword - my birthright in the stone
The lady in the lake a waits - to wave us all good by
My wife is sitting in the tower - to avoid the farewell cry

Now we have to mount our steeds - and take the hidden trail
To help the minstrels write their songs - about the Holy Grail
And if we never find it - we will not be held to blame
Legends just forgets the faults - and just retains the fame


Our lives a heroes dream
Legends told of what we have seen

Take it or leave it
Believe in what you want to believe

Were not the writers?

So we never tried to deceive



(The Lament)


My Guinevere
My flower and my bride
How love can easily change
Like the tide

And by the table now
Lancelot’s empty chair
He once gave friendship
You gave him an affair.

O how I long to feel your magic touch
For all my endeavors I feel I deserve that much
But all that I see now is a boat that is sailing away
And the prophecies of Merlin are now coming into play

Coming into play
Coming into play


12 great battles we have to fight
It is written in the stars - in the stars at night
For every victory that we hold
Will be another story told

The Saxon will hit the cul-de-sac
For them there is no turning back
And Merlin though he ran away
Will eventually return to us one day


I think we’ll travel north now - try finding a crusade
And if it does not work out - I think I’ll just get laid
My destiny is set out - and my bullets in the gun
And I will follow the path of legends - and have a love child son

And soon the caves await me - await me as we move on
Turn left at the mountains - then a right for Avalon.
You can even take me - take me to my place of rest
Then I’ll have to leave you and let history do the rest.



(The Awakening)


Now my slumber begins to end
And there are no more kingdoms to defend
My eyes now open to the morning sound
Bed a throne and pillow a crown.

Tomorrow night I’ll be something else
From a Hobbit to Odin’s eye



(A bad day at the Office)


Yes I know it beats an office
Holding papers and a pen
Making profits for the bosses
When theirs kingdoms to defend

Outside people catching busses
All held captive by the beast
After 8 hours there given freedom
And celebrate with a TV feast

All just trapped inside a big clock
A clock that ticks but has no time
History books will never record them
But in my world the magic is mine

Here I am your master and your king
And here I now sit, sit upon my throne
Here I am your master and your king
And the real world leaves me alone.

Just out of curiosity, since you do post so many pieces at one time, have you considered just doing one thread with all your poems on it? That way you dont push all the other new poems off the first page and then anybody else who posts something new gets a chance to have theirs looked at. Just a suggestion....
