amber, crimson, and violet streak across the sky –
prismatic hues to dance before my eyes
dawn’s pale horse has ridden in to
light the edges of the day
i shrink back from the light of day –
light that burns to the touch –
wishing, willing myself again towards
the comforting embrace of sleep
‘tho’ just a dream, it felt so real –
the touch of your hand,
the scent of your skin,
the feel of your body next to mine
i groan and stretch and sigh inside,
hoping it will lessen the desperate
ache hollowing out a notch
in the depths of my heart
cursing daylight’s cruel invasion,
i remind myself that ‘tis just another day –
another day that brings us one more closer
to the realization of a dream.
