The Dream's Dream<\/span><\/font>

Garlanded with moonlight<\/span>
your body dreams<\/span>

as I, awakened<\/span>
by the moonlight\u2019s touch<\/span>

upon my sleeping<\/span>
skin<\/span>

gaze with admiration<\/span>
of this painting<\/span>

that the moonlight<\/span>
paints of you.<\/span>

Behind your eyes<\/span>
your dreaming<\/span>

sifts through<\/span>
thoughts<\/span>

until it comes<\/span>
to this<\/span>

and you dream<\/span>
the dream<\/span>

of you <\/span>
dressed in nothing but<\/span>

moonlight<\/span>

and I in love<\/span>
watching you.<\/span>
<\/p>\n
