To My Sweet Love

I lay here dreaming that you love me In that half twilight world between sleep And being awake just before dawn When it is neither night nor day. And a tear comes to my eye as I cannot Have your affection. In this dream you Are smiling at me with your iridescent eyes Of limpid blue looking softly through The haze of that smoky mist of dreams. Your soft mellow brow twinkles a Beguile wanton softness as I slumber In this my twilight world. I gaze and in that shimmering flood of blue My heart wanders free. Only that now The new dawn begins to wake me from My slumber and my lonely torture begins.
