Shall I compare thee to a good night's sleep?
Thy dreams are more pleasant than ice cream treats.
In my mind's eye, your promises to keep,
In search of sweet dreams, my lonely heart beats.
A ghost from the past slips into my mind,
Joyful thoughts of youth flood into my soul.
Moments stuck in time age like some sweet wine,
Behold I see your flowing streams of gold.
Piercing shards of light with me from the start,
Unable to touch, unable to see.
Flaming arrows fly nearly to my heart,
Please keep me asleep ever close to thee.
Pray thee stay with me 'till morning light breaks,
As I arouse from slumber, my heart aches.
