Canto Dreams


 Press play before reading.

Salute.

(A lone voice sings)


Within grey cloaks 

With eyes 


Wired shut


I remember

A night 


We ran to our room 


New lovers 

After Sabbath


On Sunday noon


Making wild promises 

To watching 


Sun and Moon


In rising smoke 


We

Swan 


Happy in loves 

Deep Lagoon


Before Death struck 

With his sharp harpoon 


And so now 

I walk 

Choking 


On Sheol 

Sand dunes 


Condemned for eternity 

To dream 


Of entering 

That room

 

So now I 

Sing 


For Second Kingdom 


Where soul of man 

Is cleansed for freedom 


Made pure 

To go to Heaven


In wisdom


O sacred  

Is Deaths 


Dying day's decay


If God could see me 

He'd sing 


You did it your way 


And that's price 

Of love 


In Purgurto 

You pay 


For

O sacred  

Is Deaths 


Dying day's decay 



A soft kiss 


To open 

New gates


To where 

Beloved 


Memories 

Play
