DREAM WITH ME

Soft in a cloud of feathers 
to cushion my weary head,
troubles melt quickly into the darkness, 
a smile dances over my lips, 
eyes close, happy for you come to me in my dreams. 
Here I touch you, hold you close, 
in my thoughts I have you engraved, 
imprinted upon on my heart, 
my sanity, when you are gone. 
I wait, wonder how long will it be? 
How long, my love, until you are with me?
I see the dark sky, 
laden with precious sparkles, 
I smile again, and I picture you, 
watching these same stars too
Your name leaves my lips 
the window opens wide, 
my kiss blows with the breeze. 
When you catch it will you smile? 
Sadness sinks his arms around me, 
I long to be with you, 
to touch with desire, 
already in our heart 
Come to me, the wind whispers, 
come with me, my love, 
and dream our sweet dreams, 
until reality comes.




DREAM HOUSE

My fancy has a little house
With honeysuckle round the door.
A bright fire burns in the open hearth
And red tiles cover the kitchen floor.
A tabby cat on the sunny sill
Sways and purrs like a clockwork train.
There are muddy boots in the garden passage
And hollyhocks tap on the window pane.
An apple tree shades a little lawn
Where daisies and moss and self-heal grow.
A blackbird sings as the dusk descends
And a pipistrelle crosses the sunset glow.
All states can co-exist in dreams:
There need be no time or season or weather.
I have fire in the hearth and sun on the sill
And my blossom and fruit appear together
