She Dreams

Painting by Frederic Leighton


She Dreams

Too tightly clutched,
love's
fragile bloom flees on
scattered petals.
The love that drifted from his restless heart,
she'll search for in her dreams.

Billowing tides of
darkness
engulf her troubled mind.
She dreams.
Entwined in her lover's arms again, she sighs;
here, their love will never die.

Beneath her skin,
desire
flows like molten sun,
toward cheeks
as flushed as petals of love's early bloom.
In her dreams, he's hers forevermore.
