Vanished Dream

I brave the winds to await summer And yearn for days when love duly appears, Long enough till daylight erupts Into a sizzle of wistful rendezvous-- While along the pier, a cruiseship far Moves toward me , my warm delight. Preparing foil of blossoms fresh, My hand trembles as the sail nears That my flesh moistens from the wait, as passengers alight from the door: Still, your silhouette becomes a haze, evanescing into air... where could he be? And this heart begins to fade in crushed pinpoint of night... a fleeting trance Just like so? God how I hurt: Now my screams slip into oblivion, a moment erased By a vanished dream thinning as summer weeps.
