As I Lay Down To Sleep

  

A heart-stopping embrace

That makes me feel more alive

Then a near death experience.

A kiss that stops the world

Till time is nothing more

Then where I am.

Eyes like that of heaven

Showing me salvations

From loves wrong doings.

 

Those are the things

I see in the woman

Of my dreams

That I have yet to meet

As I lay me down to sleep.

When I read the title, I thought it was a prayer and I still think it is. Having such wishes should be included in the prayer. Anyway, i sense so much admiration of a man for this woman who will soon have her existence. It's wonderful to end a day with such thoughts and to sleep with a smile on the face. Nice one.

Very moving my friend, a good smooth write, it takes some searching to find the perfect mate, it's worth the
the wait. God Bless you.
Hugs, Annie

That was really good.. you have simple desires from the woman of your dreams.. love the part:

A kiss that stops the world
Till time is nothing more
Then where I am.
Eyes like that of heaven

I love this sooo much.. yes when we are in love there is nothing like that long deep kiss that makes us feel like the world does not exist.. time stops.. and eyes are important to you as well.. that is really big to me.. silly but eyes say alot about people.. thank you for sharing! =)
