I Fell From Your Heaven

 

You were moonlight
beyond my shadows,
shining in my dreams.
I kept looking, thinking
I might find myself
in your eyes.

 

Came a summer day
when the sun rose up fiercely
to cast you from me
with a callous glance.

 

You were gone,
and all the while
a wild wind whispered
a siren's call in my thoughts.

 

I found myself
alone in the tempest
with your voice echoing
in the shimmering air,
and I was overtaken
by a darker despair.

 

Last night I dreamed
such a sweet dream
of seeing you again,
until I closed my eyes
and remembered
you were gone.

 

I tried hard to believe
in all our tomorrows,
but hope faltered,
and I fell from your heaven
down to the cold earth
once again.
