As swallow's wing alights a meadow blush -
So softly treads her image in my mind;
The path so trodden stirs to quickened rush
A heart that swirls and beckons one in kind -
Oh love, be not unkind - let your fire
Freely rage within my veins, and release
The yearning that holds passion and desire
In, and doing so, do my heart appease.
But the mind in deception does delight;
It feeds on painted charms and holds in spell
Illusion thus retained - until the night
Retreats and leaves behind an empty shell:
So phantom is what real thus may seem,
Her vision but a vapour of a dream.

You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss
