Sweet darkness
Only in your embrace
Do I find peace
Like an embryo
In the womb
Safe and warm
Over the years
You
Have become my companion
Shelter
From the perils of life
A place for my weary
And injured heart and soul
To lie down and lick my wounds in
Peace
Heartbreak after heartbreak
Trial after trial
You are there
To hug me
So softly
My Island
Where money is no issue
Friends are always there for you
Where true love exists
And relationships are simple and happy
And then
You left me too
I remember a time
When we were close
Days
I spent with you
Sleeping
How I long for you at times
You
Are my magic invisible cloak
We’ve been apart for so long
Our brief unpredicted encounters
Are never long enough
How I miss you
Sleep
