Acid Dreams

Two star crossed lovers at the end of their lives
A former hero with eternal strife
A far off star still shining bright
And a sweet red wine to bring the night

Burning ears and secret lies
A magical carpet taking to the skies
Some bad advice is a word to the wise
Come see the world through dreamers’ eyes

A hidden love letter sealed with a kiss
Naught but a fool can find eternal bliss
A wound down clock with echoing ticks
And a secret ingredient to add to the mix

Rock star dreams and mannequin dresses
A raven haired beauty with satin tresses
A lovely barmaid cleaning up messes
And partisan lies to appease the masses

Foxes on the prowl at a chicken coop
An ace reporter without a scoop
A sip of a cracker and a bite of soup
Civil action in a military suit

A new born baby and a box of cigars
Expensive tastes and ugly cars
Thrown aside gold nuggets and priceless pyrite bars
Sounds of a song drifting from afar

Butterfly dreams and caterpillar wishes
A veteran chef busy washing dishes
A lost little boy talking to the fishes
A hero to the people with plans malicious

A rolling camera on a broken down set
A twenty dollar payout on a fifty dollar bet
Finished with a journey but not done yet
A shooting star diamond knows no regret
