Cartographer of Dreams

Eyes wide open in a midnight hush

Tracing patterns only sleep can touch

Streets unfurl in lines of pale blue ink

Cities breathing quietly on the brink

Every shadow holds a secret name

Skylines built from memory’s flame

I walk the roads that vanish with the sun

Mapping places that don’t stay when night is done

In the lattice of my mind, the city starts anew

Dreams unravel, but I keep drawing you

Mirrored rivers spiral through empty squares

Windows glowing, strangers unaware

Mountains bend beneath a silent, glimmering dome

Each step uncertain, but I call them home

Alleys singing softly in the haze

Borders shifting with the passing days

I walk the roads that vanish with the sun

Mapping places that don’t stay when night is done

In the lattice of my mind, the city starts anew

Dreams unravel, but I keep drawing you

Whispered stories etched in glass and gold

Maps that ripple, fragile to behold

Every night I chart a world that’s never true

But in the darkness, I find a map to you

I walk the roads that vanish with the sun

Mapping places that don’t stay when night is done

In the lattice of my mind, the city starts anew

Dreams unravel, but I keep drawing youWhen morning calls, the city fades to mist

In the spaces left, it’s your name I list
