Paper Dreams

Two headed horses climb the walls

The panther stalks the bubbled balls

Dead flowers grow across my bed

Ten fingers crossed by hand that bled

Glass tigers gamble in the stream

The unicorn rides through a dream

Blue thunder clouds roll cross the sky

Beneath the watchful wizard`s eye

The bottled gold, unwanted stands

Untouched by mortal human hands

And silent standing all around

Toxic tubes rise from the ground

The light above will soon grow dim

The time will come to sink or swim

The dolphin smiled, the angel cried

Certificates for those who died

In crystal castles on the hill

They’re blind to all the blood they spill

In pidgeon holes, in shadowed rows

Where heroes hide between Death’s toes

And china lemmings on the edge

Stand in line to take the pledge

The infant smiling on the dead

The Devil bearing words unsaid

And on the moon the sleeping clown

Dreams of stars and falling down

Picture formed in empty air

Fades above the empty chair

White coat drifting through the door

Floating two feet from the floor

A fleeting pain beneath the skull

And once again the world grows dull

The face behind the glass looks on

Until this paper dream is gone..
