Night Thoughts

In the dark and lonely nights
all my thoughts turn towards you,
The way you laugh, the way you smile
and everything you do.
Your laughter echoes through
the empty corners of my mind,
A sound of rapture soaring through
the realms forever mine.
A haunting timbre, a emotional tone
and yet I am still full of sorrow,
The laugh of youth; the laugh of love;
the sounds of my tomorrow.
In my dreams I see you still,
standing radiant before me,
A semblance of true beauty
drifting over a calm tranquil sea.
As daylight breaks through the dark
to glimmer upon your head,
Emblazoned you turn and beckon me;
I follow in your ’stead.
You lead me away to a secret place,
a meadow that’s warm and plush,
A haven for two lovers;
an eternal paradise green and lush.
In the glade we sit in the cool shade
of a mighty, ancient tree,
Sitting there at your side,
our world unfolds for us to see.
You lean towards me, your lips parted
with a kiss you will bestow,
But for me it is a kiss,
a taste which I shall never know;
For in that instant my dream is shattered
and I awaken all alone.
