Sometimes in the night
Forbidden dreams come to me
Of horizons I can never reach
Views I shouldn't see

Unspoken words tell the tale
Unbridled to the sense
Never heard in music
Lyrical beauty in silence

Alternatively a horror
Revelations to scar
Nightmares show the rewards
Of wishing on a star

The anguish and the hurt
Of control lost or given
Other people to suffer
When the dream is riven

So held within for the dark
A secret loved and revered
Passion kept a private thing
And truth is truly feared

Sometimes in the night
Forbidden dreams come to me
Waking remembering love
Hiding what never can be
