Trapped in the Sunshine

When I sleep tonight, I’ll hold you in my dreams

When I close my eyes, your arms will be around me

I’ll hold you in the moonlight

You’ll fade by the morning

You’ll kiss me in the darkness

To disappear by the sun

I’ll wake up all alone

All alone in the sunshine

To wait until the night where you hold me again

 

Have you ever had a dream where you held me in the moonlight?

Have you ever tried to grasp what only fades away?

Have you ever reached your hand out only to touch the air?

Have you ever closed your eyes, hoping I was there?

Do you wake up all alone, trapped in the sunshine?

I’ve wondered--how I’ve wondered.

My dear

My moon beam

My old sport

 

I reach out in the darkness

I cannot close my eyes

My heart keeps pounding

This dream--no it cannot die

Hold me in the moonlight

No, please don’t go

You’re fading in the sunshine

Now I’m all alone

Photo somewhat unrelated. I thought the old sport thing was funny.

I liked the theme, flow, and overall tone for your eloquent and poignant poem. Interesting concept about losing a dream that's to good to be true after waking up from it being trapped in the sunshine. I hope I got that right. Sounds good to me though. Anyhow great write. :)
