Dreams of You (Ghazal)

I walked upon a golden shore and I collected dreams of you
and everything I that encountered there connected dreams of you.

Your motive I had not suspected as I followed where you blew,
my will became a passing thing and it reflected dreams of you.

Your motive I had not suspected as I followed where you blew.
The sunrise lit reality and it dissected dreams of you.

My heart and soul were unprotected from the you I thought I knew.
You led me on into the night and resurrected dreams of you.

I searched shores for something more than your unaffected heart untrue
I waited and I wept while lost in my dejected dreams of you

Your song and dance you had perfected to precision through and through
but Jinni dances there no more in misdirected dreams of you.
