My Lover's Name is Erato

I want to stay up.
I want to see you.
I want to stay awake
And run away from tomorrow.
I want to stay up.
I want to hold you.
I want to stay awake
And be swept by your vigorous muse.
I want to stay up.
I want to kiss you.
I want to stay awake
And re-experience that rush of desire and utter bliss.
I want to stay up.
I want to stay awake.
I want to chase away the heavy weariness called mortality
And linger with you forever in fantasy.
Why aren't you real?
I reach out but my fingers never touch you.
Why aren't you real?
Your voice and laughter resounds in my ear like a taunt
Though the room has never been so still-
It shan't be stiller.
I want to stay up...
But I'm only human.
Unlike you, I am not free.
I do not exist in dreams and epiphanies;
Loved by all
Desired;
Cherished by all;
Aspired
And hated by all;
Inspired...
Loved by all
Forever....
