Fantasies.

.....................................Longing For Nightdreams

Charity
I held you close to me one evening.
In the dark your face was never seen.
Then you were gone before the morning.
Stolen moment, stolen away from me.

Fantasies, daydreams, tomorrows, maybes
Are held by nightdreams and rejected by day.
And though the dark may bring the best times,
Daytime is lifetime and nights slip away.

And yet I am longing for the nightdreams.
They comfort and strengthen my soul.
So I will recline and yield to nightdreams,
Reach for you and again hold you close.

    Thanks Jennifer... I have written more poetry than prose in my life, but I have written extensively for company brochures, and technical documents, not very fulfilling :-)
