Twilight

In the hours of twilight there's neither sunlight nor moonlight. There are no early morning showers or midnight powers. All is somber as mortals slumber. But I lie awake & wonder of my love & my... I can clearly see her eyes widen as she smiles even in this hour when nought is sure. I hear her laugh that merry tinkle of hers disturbing the gentle quiet of my mind. I perceive her sweet fragrance, teasing & taunting the inner recesses of my mind. I feel her kisses, hot & generous warming away the chill of this cold hour. And her hands, so soft & tender eases away the tension in my taut body. I hear her whisper something in my ear, I don't quite get it but I smile knowing just what it'll be. She gets up to leave & I reach out to hug her. She reaches for me too but in the stupor induced by this hour, I stagger & fall only to realize it was all a dream.
