Forsake The Dawn

Could it be just a dream
where realities spawn?
If so, then give me dreams,
I will forsake the dawn.

For passion speaks
of want and need
and love becomes
this dreamer’s creed.

My love will embrace
everlasting night.
I fear I must wait,
for what comes first light?

What dreams may come
shall not forsake.
From dream’s soothsay
my love I take.

Now close my eyes
I will not sleep.
In reverie
my mind will keep.

For dreams of you
will fill my night.
Until the dawn
returns my plight.

If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.
John
