I dreamed of you last night

and you were there beside me

for all the dream world to see

sleep she allowed me this one soft

sweet unfettered fantasy

and she did so without demanding payment

for such unasked for kindness

how charitable of her

I abruptly awoke

tears all fresh

awash upon my hot face

knowing

that the harsh blind light of cruel

wakefulness

had snatched you from my loving embrace

the dawn no longer welcomes my presence

anymore

most disturbing now is her any further

witness to my disgrace

so the 'Constant Darkness'

is the burden I bore

where my dreams only this once to date

have been a happy place...............
