In a dark room covered with warm

Thought a safe place be sworn my cover

In youthful dreams of lust and beauty

A destroyer came and toppled those pillars

Of a castle, safety keeps in childhood stuff

A dream of summer sun warm and free

The beauty lays bathing under blue, blue skies

A woman friend quickly covers my youthful eyes

And with a grin forgiven shoes me and I flee

This castle’s safety keeps in childhood stuff

The days aspires to peer through pine and holly

The bathing beauty soaking sun and summer breeze

Then the queen of my castle safety keeps

In my childhood stuff came running home

Boy evolving a maturing thirst from childhood stuff

The eve of play under such a burning sun

Warms the eyes fevered cheeks I’m weary

The queen thus bathes her boy ready to dream

Under the castle safe cover of sleep

There in safety conjure dreams to keep

In the dream, she waits for me under the sun and stars

Inviting first infantile love pure to bloom

The warmth of her scent of her to kiss as a groom

Then the lightning flashed through the dark

I bit her finger she filled my mouth the destroyer came

I woke in horror my love was stained

Fears kept my eyes closed shut to strain

My mouth was full could not spit or swallow

I was still did not move as the pillars fell

The destroyer was here and left unseen

There’s no place for us in our ruins

I wander the castle grounds seeking who he might have been

In a castle’s safety kept forgetting this destroyer

Till I saw him again in another room

Tearing this castle’s pillars felling them like trees

So if you wonder what it is I have seen

It was my reflection in full scream

And still fought the destroyer of dreams

The destroyer of youth the destroyer of me

For I still lay in the wreckage of those pillars

To see if the destroyer would now show his face
