I am going to risk another submission. Like others presented here, this Is a song lyric. In the early 2000's after the death of my wife, and the more recent breakup of an engagement, I went through a not long lasting intense period of writing and recording songs. Another bit of cathartic release.

Dreams Not Need Spoken


I remember the day we met
It's a time i cant forget
With your red hair and copper eyes
Like a dream that never dies

Fireworks and ferris wheels
On that day my heat did steal
All the dreams of Diedrie
Happy as can be

Dreams not need spoken open eyes
Pollen petal butterfly sighs

Hand in hand we broke the backs
of all the crime and heart attacks
Life young lovers does provide
Drowned inside your copper eyes

I could only think of now
And the happiness we found
Nights of cafe clutches
Old hats
How could I forget that?

....

Old gloves they fit like a disease
Develop hate and dependency
Knowing what each other thought
Nightmare's closeness had brought us

Flying saucers broken wedding bands
Throats clutched by each others hands
I don't need you to forgive me
I just need to be

Dreams all left broken open eyes
Casual cruelty spiteful lies

Then today you asked me
"will you ever set me free?"
I said "yes" and walked away
Thinking thoughts of yesterday

Dreams not need spoken open eyes
Fireworks and ferris wheels
On that day my heart did steal
All the dreams of Deirdre
Happy as can be

Dreams not need spoken open eyes
New love awaits when another dies

I can remember the day we met
