Morning Woes
Visions swirl in my mind
Of another place and time
When I drank sweetly from the night
Youth’s soft fancy at flight
Dawn’s light so much brighter,
Smiles endeavour to linger
Sweet dream’s try to whisper
Sensuality leaves quicker.
Heady wisps of splendour
Exquisite pretender.
Images now languorously decline
As the dream weavers resign
Leaving no traces.
Morning quickly replaces
The dream catcher’s magical charm
I reach out and shut off the alarm.
