a cursory pillow of undying dreams

An ethereal light that given as it glows

painting lime green hills & sluggish streams

in a delirium of gold & rose

Stained by fire from the afterglow

lightening our imagination with sudden flame

as if the infatuation of so long ago

back from the undead you came

& lay still upon my ground sheet to extract my revenge

Till I execute the driver of that accused car

so now I wait here with my gun to avenge

enduring the cold near the old reservoir

A cursory pillow of undying dreams

transports you once more to my side

painted royal blue skies by a silver stream

when you were taken my lonely heart died

Rose flushed radiance by twilight

passion & hope are rendered new

even a lonely bluebird's wing

has caught its glowing hue

Today your killer was freed from jail

with time off for good behavior

he will be here any moment along this trial

let his swift death be my one savior

A cursory pillow of undying dreams

will thou love me with resplendent adoration?

I wish I could touch my departed nectarine

to sanctify these midnight exhumations

How incorrigibly it dwindles from cliff top plains

I must survive among the living

not shame that pierced my heart again

just a struggle for redemption & forgiving

Down the path is your murderer's silhouette

& the memory comes into my head

that you ran into the road because you were upset

about the mean & nasty things I had said

A cursory pillow of undying dreams

I know it is time for me let go

hiding from the world was about hiding from me

so here ends my sad tale of woe
