On breath of twilight soft he bids me come
To city gates. We waltz through darkened hours.
Our symphony, the streetlamp's static hum-
Still I lay locked in sleep within my tower.
I rest within his pillowy embrace.
His shadowed gazes pale the searing sun.
Hypnotic hymns do naked day replace,
But dreams all end the moment they�ve begun.
Moonlit love's for fools too soon seduced
Forsaken with the day's pervading light,
At dawn his image but to dust reduced.
Still more than none--my love that lives in night.
