Melancholy.

Published by

on

All you vain dreams

As short as a mid summer night

Swift; fleeting; lonely

Bestowing me with nothing but melancholy.

Fierce as a loving woman’s anger

Sweet as the kiss of a passionate lover

A bell at dawn; a parting groan-

If only I’d be wise enough to see beyond it.

    the ignorant and the lazy ESP says its more comforting to not see beyond and finding the reality to be as vain, ignore the bell and go back to the dreams

    When reality doesn’t let you live it’s ok to survive in dreams even if they are for a short time
