I Dream Her Own Dream
brave the winds to await summer
And yearn for days when love duly appears,
Long enough till daylight erupts
Into a sizzle of wistful rendezvous-- While along the pier, a cruiseship far Moves toward me , my warm delight.
Preparing foil of blossoms fresh,
My hand trembles as the sail nears That my flesh moistens from the wait,
as passengers alight from the door:
Still, your silhouette becomes a haze,
evanescing into air...
And this heart begins to fade
in crushed pinpoint of night...
a fleeting trance
Just like so? God how I hurt:
Now my screams slip into oblivion, a
moment erased
By a vanished dream thinning
as summer weeps.
