[Dream Gate] [Poet Glas]

Alone, In a Hotel Room

Clouds at night remind me of your hair
Sweeping across your face, the breeze your breath
Gentle on my skin. Wrapped in air
I think of you. Alive, I fear not death
For I have had such joy as never man
Deserved since leaving Paradise. And seeing
This, the gods themselves are jealous. Can
Any touch of heaven match this being
Clothed in flesh? Even missing you
I find such pleasure at your thought, I crave
To dream tonight of you, each vision true
To what has passed before, and which I save.
And so in feeble word I try to say
At night, alone, of how you are my day.
