Luis Restrepo Poet Free verse

If When Morning Comes You No Longer Love Me

After the moon is full
When all dreams have taken their vows
When all wandering spirits loose their confidence
And all serenades have been doused

If by some dark unfair miracle 
You awaken and you view me
And with distaste you turn from me
I will bare it, this I swear

Cast away your thoughts of blame
Because like stained glass all dreams are
Hiding everything at night that shames
But with sunlight, fatal, so hard

No one's fault but mine, I admit it
Behind your beauty I was hiding
And the blindness that daylight takes away
All the mirrors with sadness will be crying

If when morning comes you no longer love me
All the mirrors will be shattered
Your eyes will no longer reflect me
And in the darkness I will scatter

I will lay down with dreams in vision
I will dream you still belong to me
And that dream will be my prison
If when morning comes you no longer love me
