In My Dreams.

In dark of night,

Beneath cotton sheets,

I find my memories of you

Complete.

No shadows hide

Your face from me,

And in you, I find

A sweet reprieve.

But when I wake,

The tears that grace,

In lines they wash,

A child’s face.

I hide beneath

My cotton sheets,

But no comfort do I find

From these.

I plead for sleep

To meet me here,

To meet you in the night

Somewhere.

To touch the face

That in my dreams,

Is comforting, still
To see.
