ONLY IN MY DREAMSShouldst thou knowThat I have loved you so,Amidst the thousand headsMy heart had singled you out to love
In the dreams of my lonely bedMy sojourn your form had gently ledTo the spheres of heavenTo dance till daylight gleams again
All day long I think of my dreamsPray that you are there waiting for me
Shouldst thou know?That I have loved you soYou voice has become a ceaseless murmurYour face my mirror’s image
My heart grows alive and my feet strongerAs I watch the moon float through the ethereal blueFor from out my darkened orb shall beamYour glowing figureTo dance with meTill the sun goes up amid the eternal stars.---------Inez Anigbogu
