Fading Dreams
Every night I fly with you in prismatic skies.
Lately you evaporate into binding ties.
Every night I walk with you in dynamic strides.
Lately you evaporate into ebbing tides.
Every night I speak with you in empathic voice.
Lately you evaporate into failing choice.
Every night I drink with you in romantic haunts.
Lately you evaporate into gibing taunts.
Every night I sing with you in harmonic tones.
Lately you evaporate into paling drones.
Every night I dance with you in quixotic moves.
Lately you evaporate into jarring grooves.
Every night I sail with you in fantastic seas.
Lately you evaporate into dumping lees.
Every night I look with you in dramatic gleams.
Lately you evaporate into fading dreams.
