Dreams - The Cranberries

Dear You,

I like you.

I really really really like you.

You may wish for it not to be true

since so many of your recent romantic ventures have made you feel so blue.

Believe me, I’m too enamored to ever bid you adieu.

From the moment my eyes first laid upon you, I felt a sudden rush of deja vu.

I could swear we have already traveled the world as adventures ensue

From the mountains of Peru

to the jungles of Timbuktu

to the Australian outback and running with packs of Kangaroo

to the Amazonian river as we explore with a tiny handmade canoe

to the majestic Chinese forests while frolicking along pandas eating bamboo

Every moment I feel my life becoming anew

Inspired to constantly woo you with a sweet haiku

All of my life I wanted to be with someone like you

And now you are here, and I’m absolutely heart-stricken by you.

“And then I open up and see the person falling here is me.”

The Gods are dead

and the devils are running free.

In the final hours,

death shall reign

and swallow the world whole.

Everything you have ever known,

everyone you have ever loved,

every living soul

in every corner of this dreadful and pitiful world

will wither away beneath your sighs

and all that will be left is

our eternal echoing cries.

Goodbye and see you on the other side.

In this world that demands to be free,

you are still the only one for me.

You can be as far out towards the sea,

but I know you’ll always come back to me.

The trembling in your knee

should be enough indication that I will forever love thee.

So soft thy lips

that slow time,

So tender thy heart

that warms mine,

So beautiful thy soul

that makes you one of a kind.

In the shambles of my mind,

you are the inspiration for my eternal rhyme.

Who are you? The tormenter of my dreams, the angel of my nightmares.

Why have you fallen from the darkened heavens above?

Falling gracefully like a lost raindrop in a bucket of tears.

You must know, I’m a lost soul swimming in a cosmic fish bowl,

with no remorse or redemption.

I’m a lone wolf wandering the frozen tundras of broken hearts,

trekking into the cold wastelands of tethered spirits.

Where is my mind?

Taken by your lustful words,

abducted by your woeful spirit,

snatched by your sensual stare.

Stop being a babe!

You’re driving me insane

especially when you live so far away.
