Ghosts of My Dreams

In sable night, out of street lamp's reach
Streaming though a dream world breach

Called forth out of darkest heart's desire
As if to set my very soul on fire

Ghosts of my dreams dance in the street
As I watch from my window seat

In bursts of need they set leaves a-fright
Swirling... whirling in ecstatic flight

Autumn winds extend a chilling touch
But cannot calm these ghosts by much

A warning not to touch, take heed
On silky caresses they do feed
