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

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
