CHIMERA

I leaned my head
Against the darkness of the night
Letting mellow moonbeams soothe me
Into dreams
Of bewitchingly beautiful eyes
Their depths getting darker
By the minute
It’s a feeling I can't quite decipher
They're too far away for me to see
My vision is blurred
By all that lies between
Maybe it’s an illusion
Something my heart sees
Just because it wants to!
But for now, I give in to its caress,
For this dream is all I have
And all I might ever get to keep
And I let it lull me into sleep
Content that I have you
Until I wake up to reality!
