Perchance to Dream

This gilded cage
would stifle all
these dreams I dare
not speak, my heart
held close and still beneath
privilege's pall, and then

you came, my even' star,
shining in the night
sweet dream made flesh.
Freed, my heart beats
for you alone, my blood
a gift, denied --

You turn aside, afraid,
but I would offer all
I am, take all of you in turn,
this flesh and flesh, and blood
my heart yearns to hold
inside; shadowed, bright

life and death, my love
my life wrapped up in you--
your arms my strength,
my heart your light,
all I am is yours and your
dark and light are mine...

Always.
