The Dreams

In dreams of the dark night, I hear my heart swiftly beating
But in the light of day my dreams which become to me more bright
And in time's  passing, my dreams become goals that need completing.
In dreams of the dark night_
My heart racing_weeping_unfinished dreams have reached their height
In my deep sweet dreams at night; how I long for just one meeting
But in the day the truth arrays, and night's dreams take their flight
Oh! What a dream, poetic dream, my love someday meeting.
All we now have is our secret night time_sweet dream's delight.
In dreams our hearts come together and ignite with greetings_
In dreams of the dark night
