It All Felt So Right

My eyes must have a certain kind of cancer
from squinting into the inter-light.
As my silver lamp droops, the bulb resists
and shines on a dream I had last night.

I saw the handsome lot of them,
all jealous and foolish and bright.
None took my pleasure, I kept it well hid,
buried underneath platonic blight.

Then a baby came 'round, we took her in,
for fear of her heart getting frostbite.
She grew fond of me, as I wept on her head;
never again would the world be such a fright.

One of ours, she's turned out to be
the most beautiful girl of the serenade night.
Now she's inches away, brushing her hair.

Does she know?
I think she might.
