In my dreams

In my dreams,

I’ve never lost a chance

to be held

in your loving arms—

to be loved

by your naked heart,

to know the soul

beneath the scars.

You are so beautiful—

like the break of dawn.

You warm the dark

with your quiet light,

chasing shadows

from my sleepless nights.

Have you ever tried

what they call love?

I think I’d break

if the answer were no.
