The Dark of the Night

a mother/woman's prayer

The Dark of the Night

To my one true love Pwcreole

I lie myself down each Night,
Hoping to sleep a peaceful night.
Each night my dreams are of you,
I hear the sound of your voice,
In every breath.

Sleeping restlessly,
I constantly I dream of you.

In my waking hours
I see you also.
Every time I look at our son.
Your voice is his or is his voice yours?
Your manerisms, gestures.

Ohhh the memories,
The one man I can never forget.
Will we ever be together?

Are you dreaming of me?
As much as I dream of you?
Am I just a memory?
Or a memory you'll never forget?

Oh I don't know what love is,
But if the feelings I share for you,
Are love I hope I never forget it.

"My son's father is my dream lover, a love I have had to push away many times because of predudice, I long for the day we can live together and show the world how he makes me feel. My mother told me if I ever married him she cursed my son to die. I lost a child a son. Did it break her curse? God I hope so written Jul 2001"

Author's Note

We are finally living together, but my fear is still lingering in the shadows, it will kill me if it comes true, but I love him so much I want to be with him now too. Am I wrong for wanting to finally be happy?? our son is 26 years old now.
