SUMMON ME

 

"Summon me,"
He said seductively to the grieving widow.
Summon me when your need
begins to overwhelm.

Summon me and 
we'll dance the light fandango.
Summon me;
I'll wear the mien of your man.

Summon me 
to ride in my carriage.
Summon me
to touch you there
and there.

Summon me
to forget your woes.
Summon me
to hear your song.

Summon me
when no one holds you.
Summon me
to find your way.

Here I'll stay,
though you suspect me.
Here I'll stay
though you think me a ghost.

Take me 
into your heart.
I'll never leave you.
Fear me not, I beg you.

Who am I?
Look to your animus,
No need to wonder.
my name is ...
Morpheus.
