Naked Outside of Dreams
she retires
for the evening
stripping clothes
like emotions
just to match
the emptiness
she hides inside
she wraps herself
in a blanket
of thoughts
as she dreams
on the edge
of her soul
he shines
flickering
like a lost star
in and out
of night's shadows
she feels the heat
of his touch
as she yearns
in a climax
of winded breaths
beneath the sighs
of a lonely moon
in the brilliance
of darkness
she walks
descending
the stairs
that connect
life and dreams
naked, and alone
she wakes
in the pools
of her tears
as night fades
with dreams
