Lover is the Sun at Night

Lover is the sun at night
Held only in your sleep
Secret other lost to sight
But in your heart so deep.

Sunlight dances in a dream
Spotted steps upon a stage
A kiss as hot as lover’s steam
Locked inside your little cage.

Curtains fall; a stage is swept
Hope the tired dancer’s vest
Tossed aside in darkness kept
The blackest hour of your rest.

Then comes back a sunny stroll
Dappled steps through blinds
A lover dressed in sparkled coal
Lifting eyes from binds.

Mindful that though light is day
‘Tis hope when darkest night
A serenade when all seems gray
A lover cloaked in hidden bright.
