My Ghost Lover
at night i close my eyes
and i fall into pleasant dreams
my dreams are the chambers of paradise
where you are alive my love
and here do we dance in perfection
the sweet perfection of our union
making love in the cool waters
that tingle our hard bodies in passion
adjoining two longing souls forever
you are my lover, you are my mate
but only until the sun comes up
then you are only some spirit
a ghost who enchanted my dreams
who graced my bed with peace, love,
and a fulfilling desire unimaginable,
unattainable in my waking hours
so now lonely tears drown my daytime
as i wish that the sun would die
so that i could once again dance into
the refuge and heat of my lover's arms
