Angel of my Dreams
I can barely recall your face
But I remember the taste of your tongue
Who are you, lovely stranger?
All I knew was the softness of the sheets to which I clung
I think about you often,
An ethereal blessing without a name
What did you need to tell me?
I lay still that early morning, awestruck and lame
I must thank you,
For I don’t believe myself to have such courage in consciousness
When can I see you again?
In my sleep where I am perfectly without inhibitions
I believe you cruel,
To visit me in a place where memory fades so soon
Why must you slip away?
Leaving me to snippets of soft love under the light of a summer’s moon
I need you,
Angel of my dreams, to return, to explain, to love me once again
How may I bring you back to me?
Even my soul could not hope to be worth another night with you.
