A Gentle Maiden I do See!
She does not turn to look at Me.
An Enchanting Spirit floats nearby…
She follows with Her Loving Eyes.
All My Kingdom I would trade
For a Single Glance, a Longing Gaze
from this Perfect, Precious Maid!
How can I be a Butterfly?
My Angel, I am Floating Near!
There is nothing You should fear.
Come, and Fly Away with Me!
Yet this cannot be Reality….
Alas, My Dreams are Fantasies.

MOURNING FOOL HAIKU
Fools Mourn Romantic Flowers
Delusions Dreamed Are Never Real
Love Dissolves Like Misty Clouds.

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman tiptoes to my room every night just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper, “Go to sleep. Everything is alright.”
I close my eyes, Then I drift away…into the magic night.
I softly say a silent prayer, like dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream… my dreams of you.
In dreams I walk with you.
In dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you’re mine.
All of the time we’re together… In dreams… In dreams.
But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can’t help it… I can’t help it if I cry.
I remember that you said “goodbye”.
It’s too bad that all these things can only happen in my dreams…
Only in dreams… in beautiful dreams.”
