Sweet Dreams and Sweet Dreams 02

Sweet Dreams

 

I find contentment in the

midnight hours –

Daily duties have been met and

are complete.

In solitudes with only thoughts to

guide me.

I fall asleep – dream another dream

so sweet.

For it is here, my love, where I can

touch you.

And at last, within my dreams, we

finally meet.

 

I cannot prevent the morning sun from

waking me –

I want midnight dreams to rest with me

and stay.

I want to feel the passion of

your kiss –

I want to hold you as the night becomes

the day.

But when I do awake, I find to

my delight –

That sweet dreams linger and will not

go away.

 

Sweet Dreams 02

 

Each midnight – when I lie awaiting sleep

without you by my side – I’m incomplete.

I close my eyes, then softly speak your name

and feel your presence resting on my sheet.

You are here, my love, where I can touch you

once more, within my dreams,

where we can meet.

 

I don’t want to lose you in the morning sun.

I want midnight dreams to rest with me,

and stay.

I want to feel the passion of your kiss.

I want to hold you as the night becomes my day.

But when I do awake, I find to my delight

That sweet dreams linger

and will not go away.
