Dream Lover

In my slumber I search in vain
to find my lover, I look again.
Why do I search why do I look
as for a word in a famous book?

I glance your beauty in my sleep
your face is always mine to keep.
Though your magic is what I feel
it is only your love I wish to steal!

Can this vision I invoke be true,
where in this world love are you?
Now I think I know what you are,
could my imagination lean so far?

Somehow reason comes to the fore
as I realise I needn’t look anymore.
Logic from within grasps my mind,
how on earth could I be so blind?

The urging I feel inside my chest
inciting this man’s lonely quest
really can’t be what it may seem
the lover I seek is but a dream!
