Only In Dreams

Only in Dreams
The star of one's heart seen in dreams,
is the star of sleeps silver screen.Quote - Poets own
Imaginary love Daphne awaits
Smiling even though her lonesome heart aches
She lives in an unreal dreamlike world
In dreams her hopes start to become unfurled.

Peering through hazy mist someone appears
Daphne is reduced to shed joyous tears
Her dreamboat is a shadowy figure
Ethereal, an emotive trigger.

Trancelike he's sauntering towards Daphne
This moment she's waited for patiently
He is a Prince Charming to say the least 
As tenderly he sweeps her off her feet.

Embraced in his arms, it feels surreal
At long last Daphne knows how true love feels.
