A THOUSAND DREAMS...by talile ali


IF I COULD HAVE A THOUSAND DREAMS
AND WISHES TO COME TRUE
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT EVEN DARES
COMPARES TO BEING YOU

EACH MOMENT THAT I SEEM TO REACH
BEYOND ALL MEASURED QUARTERS
COMPASSION SPILLS RICHLY FROM
YOUR EYE'S TO GENTLER BORDERS

SO IN THAT SPIRIT IT IS I
WHO HOPES TO EXCITE YOU
TO DIP INTO YOUR MEASURED WHIMS
MY LIPS, WET AND FULL OF DEW

LET ME BE THAT HOLY ROLL
YOU GLIDE UPON EACH WAKING MORN
POLISH UP ALL THAT WE ARE
SO WE SHINE WAY PAST THE DAWN

COME AND REST UPON THESE LIPS
QUIVER FOR THIS FOOL
AS I ADJUST YOUR SINEW'D STRINGS
AS MY LOVE EMBRACES YOU
