Asleep not

Asleep not, my muse begins to trot, Evoking whispers of willow In my memorial mirage. Asleep not, my concern is hot. It has nothing to pillow But your cold corsage. Solely awake solely in wait Whether affectional arrears Find the atonement too late To recoup your stray tears. Half desirous half in despair How my wistful heart dithers When into thin air Years of attendance withers.
