The Dove in Me

As if your skies

Had fiery red clouds.

The same fire that lies

Behind those dark brown eyes.

Mine filled with silky blue dreams

Prayers

For light, truth

Eternal peace.

You don't believe in dreams.

You're a lion

Running the night

Hungry, fearless

Ready to fight.

I am running too.

In my dreams 

I run to you.

But would

The lion 

In you

Eat

The dove 

In me?

Though, 

What is left in living

If a lion scared to fly

And a dove 

Scared to dare

Die?

So I will sing to you

'Till my song turns my skies

Red from blue

And I can run the night

A lioness by you.
