Last night, my love, I dreamed deeply
A fragrant dream, sweet and warm
Your arms about me, your kiss upon me
And I did not care, that outside there,
...
This air is hot and wet. It's heavy!
I'm finding it hard to breathe this
Hot, sulphur-smelling humidity.
I tell my lungs to slowdown the breathing.
...
Gone now
They are dead!
So many of my own cherished,
Familial souls, indeed, a part, if not all of me.
...
On dark and silent evenings
Since my Mama passed away
I sit here thinking of her
And why I wanted her to stay
...
Weather Warning
Last night, my love, I dreamed deeply
A fragrant dream, sweet and warm
Your arms about me, your kiss upon me
And I did not care, that outside there,
Swirled my life without you...a storm
Last night, my love, I gave you all
In a fragrant dream, sweet and warm
My arms about you, my kiss upon you
And I was aware, that inside there,
Swirled our love affair...a storm
