Dream-Girl

Poem about a girl I met in a dream.

Ruby lips, ivory skin

A face more precious than any jewel

Eyes green as glacier ice

Hair black as raven’s wing

Small in all but mind and will

Delicate as a flower in a hurricane

Tiny enough to cherish and hold

Brave enough to be bold

Desiring neither love nor friendship

For she cannot bear to disappoint

Yet all long for her

Yet none can obtain her
