Sometimes just

Sometimes in the night

In the hours that lay dormant and still

When the darkness creeps

Inside my room,

Inside my heart

I lay awake and wonder

If the sunlight strikes your face

If you turn your smile into the glow

And think of me at the precise

Moment I think of you

And in that second

Do we share a closeness that not

Even the world can stop.

I blink and the thought is gone

Replaced again by the night

And the stars glow embers

On the blanket of velvet darkness

That wraps around my heart

And I lose the fight with sleep

And fall into my slumber

Travel through my dreams and

Always I find you there

Elusive spirit of my heart

Waiting for me in the sun

The intensity of those eyes

Smiling into my heart

Calling me out of the darkness

And into your warm embrace...
