What  I dream I had:
Pressed  in organdy;
Clothed  in crinoline of smoky  Burgundy;
Softer  than the rain.
I  wandered empty streets
Down  past the shop displays.
I  heard cathedral bells
Tripping  down the alley ways,
As  I walked on.
And  when you ran to me
Your  cheeks flushed with the night.
We  walked on frosted fields of juniper  and lamplight,
I  held your hand.
And  when I awoke
and  felt you warm and near,
I  kissed your honey  hair
with  my grateful tears.
Oh  I love  you, girl.
Oh,  I love you.
