If ever I saw your face without fear, <br />It was always with eyes of sleep. <br />For in the world of dreams to you I'm dear, <br />With feeling oh so deep. <br /> <br />All other claims of beauty are but lies, <br />A blasphemy against my heart. <br />But can I for you my feelings disguise, <br />Impossible! One look and my senses depart. <br /> <br />Whenever our eyes did happen to meet, <br />Yours would show everything but affection. <br />But can I see now the embers of love's heat, <br />Upon more recent inspection? <br /> <br />Am I just seeing what I wish to see? <br />An illusion of love where none should be, <br />Mayhap one day you'll fall for me <br />But as of yet it's much too far to see.<br /><br />Alexander Steen Stewart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beauty-of-dreams/
