As the Sandman Hovers Above Us

as the Sandman hovers above us arm around you, bodies relaxed electrical pulses from the brain surge my body slips into a paralysis everything is where it belongs in the security of next to you lies more than a reward for the day i am far beyond mere satisfaction i am floating in a placid being waves gently guiding me i leave with you on the Ameles potamos the warmth of your kiss goodnight upon my wedding ring a ritual so among the beloved moments you touch me with, fresh warmth at days end that guides me to slumber life could not have given me more than this holding you as the Sandman hovers above now i wish to hold you in my dreams until morning brings to me the dream i love the most as the sun roars into existence your lips pressed to mine 3/18 Abilene Kismet

Wow. As the sun roars . . . What beautiful imagery. Romanticism for sure, Timothy. Thanks for your kindness regarding my song lyrics.

You are writing from an ethereal paladin place that very few ever get to visit my friend, every word is a signature of adoration and love here, nothing missing, as it should be, thank you for sharing your heart :)

i see your point Rose and yes such devotion is not a commonality....but in my research of "soul mates", not the run of the mill which is good but is either matriarchal or patriarchal, Jesus said no marriage in heaven, they speak a language similar to what twins use, rare to have more than one child, few close friends, support each other's goals with equality, repetitive special occasion events, i can go on, vacation always together...and it is from these as well as mine I write, mine she would reach behind, grasp my hand, kiss the ring, then pull onto her nestling my hand over her heart...hold onto love, resentments are for little minds
