VERSE / SONG                                   new & used

 

 

 

Secret Dreams (a valentine)

 

In the dark before this dawn

I'll find you in your room

Asleep, your breath the only sound

I need to hear.  I'll wait

And as the dark gives way,

And birds prepare the morning air

With song to make you stir,

Deep in down, stretching warm,

A gentle smile will linger soft:

Escaping tale of secret dreams,

And I will catch my breath.

A shy caress, the rising sun

Will let his fingers play

On pillowed strands of gold.

Shall I reach out and touch the hand

Nestled there?  And will you wake

And smile again to melt me heart and soul?

Or shall I fade in morning light:

A ghost who'll watch and see you well

But never show a face?

 

 

 

This was not intended to be as creepy as it might sound.

Many a Valentine’s day lover might say the same.
