Re: I got a little black book with my poems in...

Ok, here it is. It's probably a bit too bizarre to turn into a song, but I had to get it down on paper.

FEAR FROM AN ALIEN YEAR

I thought I was watching TV,
A rather disturbing scene with a man in a field,
His eaten out body and still talking head,
Being sought by a Lovely Lady,
Rather disturbing indeed!

As is the nature of Dreams,
There I was dancing in days that seem long before these,
Meeting a man who would give me his girl,
Was she my new wife to be?
As is the nature of dreams.

Something not right around here,
Girl knows my face but I don't know this place or the year,
Who is this girl that now says she's my wife?
And why am I holding her dear?
Starting to choke on the fear.

Dreaming more regular dreams,
Happier now to be dreaming familiar scenes,
Wife reappears and she's holding a head,
My God I believe it is me!
I WAS THE MAN IN THE FIELD!!!

Dream after dream it repeats,
Day to day issues then she reappears with her hate,
Got to wake up or get rid of this thing,
But a quiet voice tells me it's fate,
How did I get to this place?

Finally woke from the fear,
Shaken by tears that appeared from an alien year,
Fading away can't remember much now,
It doesn't seem nearly as NEAR,
'Til next time that she reappears...
