Missing You

Missing You

A single flame flickers through glass
Splintering into beams of light
While raking through the lashes
On my sleepy lids

A last breath douses the prism
Whispering your name as it leaves my lips
Before I drift into lucid dreams.

I love the last three lines, "A last breath douses the prism
Whispering your name as it leaves my lips
Before I drift into lucid dreams. "

Is it a case when dreams become a safe haven from our conscious longing? A much needed reprieve? I'm not sure, but your poem elicits this question in my mind.

Splendid poem.

Yes, dreams can sometimes be more full of life...
