Dream-Encrusted.
Sighs of sleepy contentment escape from her lips
at night every time she awakes.
Quiet-like are the tones of shy thoughts made to
her pillow before dawn breaks.
As she turns over her smiles show the pleasure of
speaking his name to the dark.
She makes secret wishes before eyes closed again
warmth glows inside her young heart.
Holding as sacred his closeness she says au-revoir
in whispered words to stars above.
Hoping becomes dream-encrusted and trusting for
more she succumbs to new love.
