I Heard Your Call From Sleep To Wake Alone Poem by Danny Draper

I heard your call from sleep to wake alone
Could have sworn we were together,
Often we are mistaken on our own.


A home swells its boisterous gaggle grown
Then empty, nudges hope or wind whatever,
I heard your call from sleep to wake alone.

Did we ever have that which is no longer known,
Are vanished days imagined treasure?
Often we are mistaken on our own.

A lived love lost will be forever prone
To a dream like state of pleasure,
I heard your call from sleep to wake alone.

Wishful think, or pray, or loudly raucous moan,
Ecstasy regrets no positions measure,
Often we are mistaken on our own.

We aimless fall to crash within the zone,
Neither true nor real, no matter whether
I heard your call from sleep to wake alone,
Often we are mistaken on our own.
