Languidly at ease in the vision of my dreams
the midnight of your soul reposes next to me.
A glass of wine, empty, still, indicative of will
reflects from the sky moon’s passionate desire.

Slowly as the rising sun life begins again  
to encompass the needs of mankind’s reality
like thunder would split and torment the air
with the promise of rain not meant to fall today.

The heat of no release trails footsteps to the door
and dreams and real entwined run into twilight time
till together in the shadows they merge in memory
and settle in compartments of the deep unconscious mind.

I cry tonight my tears for love’s long waywardness
underneath a sky dark and somber like my fear
for night brings no relief or calm of my belief
when reality of day overshadows souls at play.

Languidly at ease - and I pray to be that way
until the will of time moves the glass of wine!

". . . until the will of time moves the glass of wine!"

Sometimes I wonder is we really "will" it to move, or hope it'll stay there forever...

Wonderfully written

Hi, jwesley.  I guess it all depends what the glass would be moving towards as to whether we wish it to go or remain.  Thanks for the read.
