Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

The Night That Never Was

The Night that Never Was

Dreams invaded my thoughts
Thoughts invaded my dreams
My desire faded
Like a candle at the end of its wick
I crawled back to reality
So I thought
I lost my courage
I know I have become crazy
Illusions and mist
My last memory
Was of all of you
I look up now
For I lie below
In silence
Beneath the winter snow
