"DREAMSLAYER: 7 BALLADS OF THE OCEAN"
By: Once
==Part One==
"The Stargazer"
:O, Sarrena beauty
:Do my eyes deceive me?
:For Sky without Heaven
:Is the moonlight besieging?
:In this land of Neversnow
:Does the Garden exist?
:With its so-called Marronheart
:As large as a fist?
:For sure what I ask
:Is from one with no name
:For stranded in Altara
:Is how I shall stay?
:With no one to talk to
:Or with no one to listen?
:Too far from the Garden
:I can almost envision
:How brilliantly its crystals
:Will sparkle in the dark
:How the Sword of the Ages
:Will leave a mark
:In the land that is Gethsemane
:There is no place to hide
:For the Garden itself
:Is a thing of mind
:As I finish these words
:I stare at the sea
:Will they ever emancipate?
:Will I ever be free?
:In Altara, my Prison
:So devoid of the light
:But still I must wait
:So I can flee in the night...
:Progress marches ever forward...
==Part Two==
"Poet and the Dark Master"
:The streets are cruel
:His hunger, blighting
:Six months in Nature
:Six months of fighting
:A hopeless future
:The dimmest hope
:Who can but wonder?
:Who can't but cope?
:The Garden Gethsemane
:Is dimmest by night
:For poet's play
:It's only right
:To dream of one day,
:Seeing the light
:To bring the future
:Erase the night
:A woeful story
:Of one man's shame
:And how he played
:A deadly game...
:"Is that about right?"
:said Peronen to the master
:Whose face was cold
:And whose anger flew faster
:"Wrong, 'tis wrong!"
:was the master's reply
:And he broke the table
:On which Peronen did cry
:"A boy like you shall never write!
:A child, so young, so wicked!
:Leave now, foolish boy,
:Should you be stricken!"
:Peronen was shocked;
:His master's expression
:Was one undesired
:Had he no conviction?
:Surely, he could write
:Tullamatti knew he tried
:But the master would not let him
:He'd like to watch him cry
:Peronen did flee
:Into the cold night
:Without a path to go to
:Or even a light...
:With the gift of innocence, only an angel will fall...
==Part Three==
"Long Lost Love"
:Sweetest beloved,
:I await your return here back home
:I long once again for your touch
:For I know now, I am the doll playing your desire
:A doll whose control fails her
:I know now, you are the light to my darkness
:I ascend as the light down your slope...
:The greatest songs were born from the greatest wishes
:I wish you were here, in my arms, mine alone
:Distance murders the passion and the romance
:But closeness revives the long lost love!
:Forgive my words, for lust writes them
:Return at once, please!
==Part Four==
"Fate, Passion, Silence, Beauty"
:Kiss in the darkness
:A lusty laugh in the night
:And there was no more.
==Part Five==
"Sleep / Almagest"
:A dull reminder of the day
:Followed by cold, red wine
:Nothing...nothing felt so airy
:In a dark, dark mindstate
:To read the pages of Almagest
:Sailing the oceans of dreams
:Wanderer, that's what I am
:The starborn child of late
:I will gather myself and leave the world be
:I'm so tired, so damn tired
:I'm done trudging through this world
:Without anything to sleep on
:Sleep...yes, that's what I need...
