Reverie

Post the day to rest and I.

Gentle night come lullaby.

Whisper to my ear and kiss my eye.

Set free the stars to reign the night,

And wash away the day’s goodbye.

Cover me, let my dreams take flight.

Bring to me my love rejected

From my night reverie selected,

For days love dejected.

Entangle my cataleptic bed,

With visions of life that I’ve corrected.

Let her kisses to my head.

If not in truth her lips I taste,

Let her kisses there take place.

Heal my wounds and remove the mace.

With gentle breeze through window bare,

Perfume my room with her lace.

Cheat me now and think her there.
