I came up with this idea before going to bed last night.
I hope you guys like it.
I put in quite an effort......

Give me a glimpse of Paradise
There I saw it, in my repose:
A comforting presence drawing close.
With an eye gleaming in the dark of night,
Her beauty shone and filled my sight.
The vision filled me with delight:
A lovely wraith exceedingly bright.
Beckoning with hands of marble fairness,
She made me lose all awareness.
My very chambers changed its hue
From fierce midnight black to azure blue.
But even though these few changes were wrought,
T'was the fair maid that my eyes sought.
For even in the blaze of colors,
The sight of her pulled me close with force.
There never was an angel more lovely
Than that which the night made me see.
Her bright eyes that were crystal clear
Had given me no reason to fear.
Likewise, her head of cascading ringlets...
Ah! It reminds one of sunsets.
But all too soon, the dream ended;
Calm blue burst into scarlet red
As the sun rose; I looked round with dread.
The angel was gone from my bed!
Recalling that sublimity
That had once revealed itself to me,
I beg: sing me to sleep with lullabies.
Give me a glimpse of Paradise.
