Love's Dark Goodbye



Last night my walls were tissue-thin
There hung a vale of starry skies
The years dissolved, your smile slipped in
My heart repeats an aural delight
Our words, anew, infeasible shy

We dismiss the words, our eyes reply
A thousand angels chant your name
You hold my hand, I melt inside
Novas shower through my veins
While thoughts exalt, our voices tame

How shall I ever avow your heart
When dreams are all that we now share
In nights demur we always part
A tragic love I shan't compare
How could you leave me in the dark?

About this poem

When someone visits your dreams it can be just as real as when they leave.
