Bound In Dreams And Visions Poem by Charlie F. Kane

In the graveyard she lies wailing
Over the corpse of a man she never knew,
With moonlight and butterflies for company,
I only wish I could lay dead flowers too.

There’s a Queen of another kingdom
I have tried so hard to remove,
But she refuses to give up the crown.
So I can only sit and worship her
Despite of all the let down.

The images are caught
In a perfect picture frame,
Bound in dreams and visions
Never to be old maids.

The Queen of Hearts slipped through my fingers,
I could never get the card trick right,
She was more in love with the King of Clubs
Than some bitter creature of the night.

The purple angel I do not see anymore
She flew away when the time was right,
And told me to see her no more,
That in my mind it would be better,
And the ending could be changed.

The images are caught
In a perfect picture frame,
Bound in dreams and visions
Never to be old maids.
