Night and Day

My day
your night

You sleep 
your  lover in your arms
while I awake dream

My night
your day

I sleep
no lover in my arms
while you awake dance.

Along the threshold
we both weep
I for hopeful years
you for woeful tears
he – faithless, old
you – faithful, bold
I – with faith oft told
in poetry, my soulful whim:
I loving you;
you loving him.
