Beyond Arm's Reach

Were you not in my arms
This night
So softly in my dreams
Were you not
A thread of star dust
Sewn up in celestial seams

Were you not
My thirst for water
Held to trembling lips
Were you not
A breathless sail
Harboring a lover's courtship

Were you not in my arms
This night
Darling, if absence called your name
Could I ever love
More loving a Man
The same?
