the evening light
a dreamer dreams
of sunshine days
and full moon nights
the summer's overheat
the spring full of life
the autumn's browning leaves
the chill of winter's ice
the seasons come and go
and to and fro
the days, they pass by
and the times we all care
the moments we all share
in the days we say goodbye
the memories we hold within
inside, they hide
for a dreamer simply dreams
and dreams don't come alive.
Julius Palacios Feb 2020
Once upon a time a long time ago in a land where no dreams were ever invoked.
A story teller and the wondrous in his mind was revealed as he finally spoke.
It all started when his face melted into his pillow and his body sunk deeply inside his bed.
He couldn't tell what was real or simply just a fantasy stuck inside his head.
Awakened in a land where anything and everything was possible.
The scenery was breath-taking and undeniable.
The beauty of it's landscape just blew his mind away.
So many profound words yet to describe that he needed to express and say.
He felt his body melting and dissolving and mixing and shifting into All four elements.
Earth into the solid state, water to liquid, air to gaseous and fire to plasma.
Molded and shaped he was Created into his best state, into a beautiful white diamond that never looked any brighter.
He had finally reached the endless points of creation.
Like traveling from every distant constellation.
A star that burned so bright yet a supernova just passing by.
The air was heavy to breathe he felt like his lungs were weak.
Like Inhaling fire yet exhaling desire. Now inspired by the way that his mind is wired.
The gravity was exhilarating and stuck in an unbalanced place.
His body just floated slowly in the midst of the night's air.
The moon light illuminated a fountain of life.
He wasn't too sure if he was ready enough to make a sacrifice.
Drink away or pretend and just lay there and stay.
He took a sip as the cold liquid touched the tip of his lips.
Now at last, Awakened from a bizarre dream. Present, future or past.
Just a beautiful Light that beamed gleamed and screamed in the darkest stream that lasts.

I’d like to propose a toast to the artists
To the visionaries
The ones we’ve long since forgotten
For real dreamers are endangered
A species so minute they replicate that of a speck of dust on an old counter top
Foreign, and rather unwelcome
The last strand of a generation whose favorite question was “why?”

They are contaminated with an incurable plague
Of unsequestered life
Letting the savage nature of the world run its course, without letting in the demons they were destined to succumb to

Like a sailboat bouncing in the cool breeze of twilight
They float above the rest
Knowing their infinite wonder crowns them royal
Their jewels a testament to their unbiased sentiments
Ones only few have the glory of basking in

It is here we see the true treasure
So carefully preserved
Useless to the rest of the world
Yet priceless to the king

For he uses it to free himself from the slavery that binds him to land
More valuable than any glistening rock ever could be

But as we know every Caesar has his Brutus
Such that every singer has their cynic
And every cook has their critic

Which is why we place these dreamers on probation
And lead them to skate on ice so thin the blade cuts straight through the narrow cracks to skim the surface of the daunting water beneath
Leaving a vulnerability the so-called “modern” generation hungers for

Why celebrate passion when we can pity peril?

And so the common fool grabs the microphone, speaks his truth, and lays down a tale even the great Aesop would envy, while being blessed for his experience
When the visionary says his piece he falls on deaf ears, his lack of forebearance leading to his opinions being baseless, rather inconsequential

And so the artist grows numb
Letting the novocaine of society draw away all sense
Leaving the empty husk of what was once a king
Now degraded to a common peasant

“Normalcy” they call it
“A cure” for an outspoken tongue and relentless heart
The vaccination for a cancer that never needed healing
For it drove the very spirit of humanity

“But no!”, we cry,
"His body never belonged to him."
Like the effortless movement of a marionette, he was forever destined to be guided
By the well worked hands of a madman

He dies that way
Bound to his maker
Always knowing he could fly
Never given the opportunity to use his wings

And the ones who come to his funeral are the very people who tightened the noose
Their tears are not of sorrow for him, but merely the exclamation of their own pain
As the beloved puppet leaves their blood-soaked hands

They lay him down peacefully
Lick their lips at the satisfaction of a job well done
And celebrate
The death of the romantic

a single cloud is not as ample as a star, for it is night when she dares to dream.

Last night I had a good dream for once.
I dreamed I had a group of friends,
who would do anything for me.
They stuck by my side through everything.
We laughed together.
cried together,
and overall experienced life together.
It was beautiful and crazy and everything I've ever wanted.
But then the dream was coming to an end,
and we all knew it.
We started saying our goodbye's,
and some of us shed tears.
It was as if it was all real,
and we all knew we'd never see each other again.

Then I woke up to reality.
To the life that is mine,
the life that is lonely.
I have a few friends,
none that I feel would die for me.
None that would see me as their equal,
and not as the weakest link.

Now I just want to go back to sleep.
Based on a dream I had last night. Obviously. In the dream, I meet a group of girls. I think there were 3 or 4 of them. At first a few of us butted heads when I entered their group, but then we all became best friends. We were so insanely close, it felt real. It felt like months passed during the dream. These girls were my sisters. And I helped other girls who didn't really fit in anywhere to find friendship in our group. We all just accepted each other and didn't judge one another, and nothing tore us apart. Not them finding new relationships or big changes in life... nothing. For once I had friends who would always be there for me. Then I woke up and it was all gone.

I'm the dreamer who reaps eternity.

If thou knowest not what could be known
How could thou be wise to the unknowable?
Instead of the fulfilment of wisdom
Plentiful, with golden overlooked fields of wheat
They hunger for the unquenchable faint stars
And gain not the warmth of heaven's retreat
But the stoic cold indifference of heavens afar
So
In the barren I'm destined to be
All of antiquity granted to me
A callow child sowing wizened words
Lo and behold as they grow unobscured
Wild and free
As only TRUTH after sifts of time remains
To be resown
In fertile old earth and as new seed
And
In the harvest
The fruits of
What is rooted to eternity
Will be reaped

Child
Don't fear the silence
Feel alive as you hear your heart beating
Don't shun your doubts, emptiness, uncertainty
You must have the wavering void of darkness
To hold a dream
That is not devoid of
Wonder
Unwavering indefatigable wonder

Is there an unknown quiet hidden prophecy
Clawing to be freed from deep within
An instinct with the shape of my shied soul
As swallows yearning for the sure south
I had danced with the same faith of finding
My wings a thousand quills across the keys
Praying the given words and ebbing melodies
In waltzing secrecy may show me
And let me hear, let me see, let me be

The sound of cherubim’s laughter in the wind
The rain and darkening clouds soothing
Hearts weary of ennui beneath languid sun
Minds anticipating enlightenment of dawn
And souls waiting, silently, patiently for my song

All the woes wake the sweetness of being
As the bitterness of ale cradles dreams
I could rise higher than if I'd never fallen
There must be darkness for stars to be seen

This must be my destiny
All these lost ways and wandering
This must be my destiny
I can hear whence the world stops singing
This must be my destiny
To mark wayward path without markings
This must be my destiny
I can still see whence light only modestly reigns
In the desert, to the gazer, heavens will finally reveal
What were, are and will be
Like a dream, timeless they'll tell me
Everything

Do you feel the pull before you see the star
Just as your light is here before you are
For I can sense a force of glory leading me far
Beyond the great earth of ashes and dust
As if the gate guarding my dreams is ajar
A stray light is peeking through the dark
A rung of the ladder, shadows mark
A feather falls, a sleeve caught
The blade of light points the path

The winding green path that hides the valley
The crown of oak that shields the bard
Sunshine too harsh for young hearts
Shadow coveted by dreamers of love
Yearning to reunite beyond time and space afar

Just as quietness calls for sweet longings
The sailors they drift to slumber against tidings
Seedlings must breathe without canopy foliage
While shadow shelters depth of life within the sea

So
Child
Don't fear the silence
Feel alive as you hear your heart beating
So
Child
Don't shun your doubts, emptiness, uncertainty
You must have the wavering void of darkness
To hold a dream
That is not devoid of
Wonder
Unwavering indefatigable wonder

Traversing ceaselessly
Through
The dawn of silence and dusk of uncertainty
Unto the undying fields of ancient wisdom
I am the dreamer who reaps eternity
I have decided to continue trying to pursue my dream of becoming a lyricist, which means I'm going to focus all my energy on writing and learning to write lyrics that won't be posted here.  
I am not a composer, singer or producer myself, so I am looking for any collaborative opportunities on the music side of things.  

I would write lyrics for free, just a writing credit would suffice, and I usually only take a couple hours to write each completed work.
I won't be spending time on HP much so if anyone needs to contact me, my email is on my profile.

Happy New Year!
Peace and Love!
<3

His look is always skyward
Bound
He treads the earth, he’s not yet
Found
What’s his been looking for for years
But doesn’t he despair
Does he?
Oh no, not he;
He firmly strides th’ infirment earth
Not looking at his feet at all
For what it is to him whose looks
T’ distinguish try the Heavens’ nooks
Amidst the grazing clouds; he walks
And dreams of life up there despising
Our earthly deeds and talks,
How we scurry all life long
Around and round we know not what;
And so he always there with mind
But the soul of his is in latticed plight,
It trapped within the bonds of flesh,
And so he makes his final dash,
To ‘midst the angels be rebirth,
And so at last he leaves the earth

You
Your Eyes Danced As The Moon Lit The Sky
As You Watched The Last Birds Fly
As The Last Ray of Sun Had it's Fun

                ... You were beautiful...

I always wonder, let my mind go and feel with my heart when I see a dreamer, still believing in this worlds of ours.
