In My Dreams At Night
In my dreams at night
She’ll always be there
In my dreams at night
She’s the one who cares
In my waking dreams
I long for the day
When our troubles are banished
Far and away
For in my heart
I know she wonders why
The Poet is buried
And seems to have died
Without his courage
Without his shame
He’s hidden from her
And carries the blame
To live life easily
To take less strife
He’s constrained himself
Troubling her life
Though so very strong
Her weakness carries today
His meaning before him
To burn these away
And still I hold him
Restrained incomplete
While she yet falters
Craving the heat
Feeling alone in the world
She rejoins to past action
I all the while knowing
Not risking reaction
I fear to free him
He may open the door
Which has once been opened
Then closed before
But today is not yesterday
Her not the one
Who pulled away from him
Before even begun
So I must free the Poet
Let him rule the day
For I to be me
For us to find a way
So as I unlock this door
And become who I am
I rest in the knowing
I am a good man
And as I lay here still
Dreaming today
Of our promise and our commitment
Carried away
I know that soon
Sleep will bring rest
For in the dreams I will have
I’ve let him be his best
I vow from today
Hereafter without fear
For her the Poet
Will ever be near
In my dreams at night
I’ve finally come this day
To my companion my purpose
My wife if I may
