I Need Dream No More (for Daniel)

I need dream no more
my love, of a faceless man
to give my heart.

Reality sings to me, ambrosia
pours from her throat and
lures me with your lips.

Your Arms, love's sweet sanctuary
in the night, to know their
tender weight beneath my breast...

Ahh, sweet heaven!

Had I but known when first
we met, years of nameless sorrow's
regret--undone.

Each tomorrow shared, a
blessing to be nurtured
my love, my life--

I love you.
