Ari-Veikko Anttiroiko

What a dream I had:
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain.

I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays.
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways,
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand.

And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh I love you, girl
Oh I love you

(For Emily ... by Simon & Garfunkel)
