In Dreams



In dreams, we hold each other's hand
and walk along the shore
The ocean waves that ebb and flow
the breeze, and so much more...

Prince Edward Island


I hear a voice that calls to me
it speaks from far away
"Come and feel what we felt then
perhaps, you'll even stay"...

The Scotts


The ocean gathers wayward souls
protects what it holds dear
The Scotts found favor with the Lord
escaped, and settled here...

The Walls


The walls are closing in on me
each day a little more
I'm losing my identity
I cannot find a door...

The Mask


A mask for everyone I meet
which one should I put on?
A hundred personalities
one more, I soon will don...

I'm tired of being someone else
instead of being me
This complicated life I live
I just can't let them see...

My Queen


Where are you dancing now my queen
What music do you hear?
Do the stars shine down on you
a spotlight, for you dear?

My Child


My child, the world awaits your smile
your time is soon to come
I pray that laughter fills your days
and many years you'll run...

My child, the scent is beautiful
the petals white as snow
Soon you'll see them for yourself 
and then you too will know...

My child, I've waited all my life
for you to be with me
In just a very little while
we'll be a family...

Sweet Memories


Your face displayed within my mind
you never turn away
The image of the one I love
you haven't aged a day...

Come to me sweet memories
oh please, do not delay
I'll close my eyes and wait for you 
to carry me away...

Perfect Love


You write of someone you once knew
of standing in the rain
Of memories that make you smile
and those that bring you pain...

She must have been the perfect love
no other could compare
The words reveal how much you lost  
the heartache that you bear...

Ode


An ode to speak of you, once more
the brightest star of all
The light that shined within my heart
your memories often call...

The brilliance of your intellect
the laughter in your voice
A smile that made me fall in love
and me, the only choice...

Jon Arno 2019
