Oh if love were only in dreams,
and beauty, segments of thy mind,
I would have no life it seems,
nor would life, a meaning to find.

For what sorrow finds to this,
a world void of love and beauty;
loving hearts would surely miss-
and the world, would fail in duty.

Life is such a thing can't endure,
without beauty and love by her side,
for such a thing, my mind is sure,
and thy loveless heart tries to hide.

For this heart stripped bear, knows too well,
the forbidden secrets of the night;
that the dawn of day, marks love's farewell,
so forever shall I dream tonight.

But know this oh fleeting heart,
that if love were only a dream;
such a life, I too hastily part,
to a place where love reigns surpreme!

When love lies in exhile chains, and the soulvoid is filled with hate, then what is left to celebrate?

Well written poem.
