Lie With Me
If days
go by
and a full moon flutters,
remember my dream
If on this night
I lie awake
with pride and distinction,
I’m a broken man
If in time
you touch a cloud
and misty doubts disperse,
your pulse senses mine
If some day
your eyes
meet another’s
veering in bewilderment,
they bare my soul
If suddenly
questions are posed
in slow, cryptic prose,
turn my way
If for us
flowers grew
beneath sunset hills
they would colour my way
If you think
I feel
a heart’s demands,
it would be yours
If days
go by
and I lie awake,
a broken man,
in a dreamless trance,
with misty doubts
and a clouded way…
please lie with me
