a reverie so serene

last night i had a dream
a dream wondrously woven
about how i kept her warm
how i kept her calm

in this vivid dream
we were winsomely alone
yes, i kept her warm
n i hummed her a psalm

though i did all i can to keep this dream
still further away her presence it seemed
as the dream fades my heart dissassembled
the dimmer she was the more that i trembled

"come back, dream," i said.
"be absolute instead..."

a reverie so serene,...
so pleasent yet mean

hence i lay here stagnant,
wide awake, eyes closed...
