As I Lay Myself To Sleep
As I lay myself to sleep in the dusk of my heart,the wintry sky still shines
Luna streams its porcelain glow through my bedroom blinds
It pours honeycombed warmth in these almond eyes
And its there that I think of him,a soft sweet descent on my pillow case
a golden tint of firefly's radiance cascading gently upon the velvets of my face
It is there that I ache for him to fall once more
like last fading stars in the desert of my arms
It is there where his fingerprints mark these forgotten lips
and his lavender kiss embraces every inch of my slight curved hips
But when the night is over,like a dewlushed leaf in early breeze
He is swept away...So far far away
So far too gone to utter words I so wanted to say
...And with every breaking dawn tired footsteps lead the path
to the old oak tree which once witnessed our dream
our shared peach,our holding hands,our blissful joy and distant tears
There,in the shade I sit alone but not in solitude
by a mossy stone which owns his name
Secretly I whisper to his soul uspoken thoughts still kept at bay
'My only love,You are gone,but never gone
I might arrive late,but never too late
I feel your absence in my bones like cold air on a rainy day
But tomorrow, Somehow,Somewhere Spring-kissed gardens
bloom fresh blossoms by the promise of today.'
A revised and rewritten oldie...
Inspired by the song -'If tomorrow never comes'
