As night unfolds
Drawing the curtains of the day,
Echoes of the mortal world slowly diffuse
And I retire to revisit the tarnished paper
Held within the confines of my mind…
Etching the same dream
that I weave every night
I sculpt your face in wild imageries,
Holding your hand once again as promised
We waltz across the firmament
As hymeneal songs resound with mirth
Showering flowers to celebrate our union.

Reliving a lifetime of love
Within the margins of dreamland,
My lips thank for the serene slumbers
that offer solace to my enervating heart
And help me tread across
the somber days that have been
forcefully leased in a world without you.
