dreams of love
It’s what the night is for

The night is dark
And quiet
And I retreat into my thoughts
Of you
It’s what the night is for

I have this little sacred room
Inside of me
And go there often in the night
And on the shelves
Around the walls
I keep my thoughts of you
Sweet memories from yesterday
And many yet to dream
All lovingly displayed
Like gems
On a backdrop of midnight blue

I don’t know how to tell you
What you mean to me
Except to say
There’d be no stars
If I couldn’t gaze into your eyes
No sun
Outside the circle of your arms
There’d be no air
If I could not inhale your breath, your scent
No food for my soul
If I could never hear
The molten, golden mystery
Of your voice

You shine in all that’s beautiful
You dance through all that’s fair
You inhabit this dark cloak
Around me
For dreams of you
My love
Are what the night is for
