I Dreamt Of You

Even as the night has drifted 

softly upon me 

distilling its emptiness.

So also has your memory 

in silence 

crept from within the walls,

wrapping me in the velvet cloak 

of longing, and desire.

And I am helpless

for my senses betray me.

 

The memory of your scent 

rests upon my skin.

The thought of your warmth 

presses against me.

The vision of your silhouette 

Approaches and falls upon my eyes.

And all…

all becomes as a dream before me.

 

And I shall dream,

oh yes, I shall dream

until no reason remains…

to wake.
