In Heaven In Your Dreams

if you dream me
dream me
without these horns

without scorn

back beside the lord

out of this fire
but of your desire


in heaven in your dreams


if you see me
see not
my black wings

see me not for these things
but
in spite of these things


show me your mercy
where God would just curse me


in love
not
in flames


think it not
to be blasphemy
if
my
heart
you should ask of me

know that
there was once grace
behind these lines in my face

centuries i had
to burn for you

but perhaps a new leaf
even a devil
can turn for you
