The Dream

                The Dream 

       Last night I had a dream..
          a dream that seems so real
       I still can smell the air from it
          and just the way it feels

       I was walking along a road..
          a road I do not know
       The sun was setting quickly
          and I knew not where to go

       I felt another presence...
          but one could not be seen
       I somehow knew that "it" was there
          my senses were so keen

       When out of the dark stepped a wolf
          a wolf with eyes of blue
       No fear came upon me...
          I knew  he was sent by you

       My calmness so unnerved him..
          but suddenly he smiled
       And looked me directly in the eye
          and said, "sit and rest awhile"

       I did just as he asked..
          what else was I to do
       I knew there was no danger
          since, he was sent by you

       He layed upon my lap
          I slowly stroked his head
       And when I thought he was fast asleep
          this is what he said

       "Be cautious of The Vampyre..
          be leary of his ways
       Do not let him in your heart
          once there, it's where he stays"

       I didn't have to answer..
          he looked me in the eye
       And as he stared back at me
          he licked the tear I cried

       He told me that he knew...
          he saw inside my soul
       And that your scent was in me
          a scent he knew from old

       I told him I was shameless..
          I told of letting you in
       I told him of the darkness
          that I treasure now within

       I told him of the longing..
          I told of how I need
       I told him all our secrets
          about the way you made me bleed

       All the while he sat there quietly..
          all the while, he never moved
       When he sensed that I was finished
          he turned to me, with eyes of blue

       "If you love him, love him madly..
          give him all, you have to give
       If you do this he will bless you
          with the life, you long to live"

       With that said.. we walked on..
          paw in hand..beneath the moon
       Neither talking, only feeling
          it was clear, he loved you too

       At that moment I awakened...
          though I really know not why
       But I swear I heard a howling
          cutting through the night and sky

       Still today, the dream is in me..
          still today it feels so real
       Still today, my heart beats faster
          wondering what the dream reveals.
