Dreaming of you



It is not yet dawn

But I nestle in your back

Curled up like puppies

 

And I hear you sigh

I am a fine conjuror

It’s years since you’ve gone

 

But you’re here again

Carried back by memories

Sad trinkets of joy

 

The spirits hold you fast

Invisible twine ensures

I don't steal you back

 

I breathe in your scent

But I must not fall asleep

Neglect will lose you

 

But I am so weak

Morpheus has bent over me

You are gone by dawn
