Dreaming in Me

Its sad to be so far away
when day by day, thinking
the tyranny of amorous wishes
causes anguish, when desire's aim is aloft

missing her tender touch
causes more weight to bear
giving into my grief
my sorrowed day turns to dark night
as my grip over mind I release

from celestial bodies, high above
a favored star shines on me
and through eyes that have not seen
this dark light shines brighter than day

this nightly light, unconscious in me
leaves a trail of joy and glee
for while mountain and sea lay between our reach
nothing can upset the meaning of we
when her heart is framed in me
