Angel In Life

True Love

Lying in bed with a book

Reading to bring me relief
At peace with life
Feel so relaxed, I know I will sleep

The hour grows late
My love comes to bed
Truly at peace with life
Feel so relaxed, I know I will sleep

She moves up close
Snuggles up tight
At peace with life
So relaxed, I know I will sleep

As she touches my body
And drifts off 
Now truly at peace with life
So relaxed, that I drift off to sleep

She's my angel in life that brings me peace

Author's Note

Minor re write removing some words that I felt were not needed.

To have one at your side that brings you peace gives cause to cherish that special "someone"! It is a gift to be able to find serenity in the midst of the storms of life!
May your earth angel be ever with you!!
I like the repetition of the phrases of peace.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Sheila for your words and yes I am very lucky. The storm is never near me when my love is. Appreciate you reading my work.

[Sheila Kline]

She is your harbor of calm and safety - beautiful!!

[Confuser]

Williard: Think it's simply lovely; I enjoyed the repeating phases which emphasize your heartfelt emotions: And feel so relaxed, I know I will sleep. It's sweet sentiment and you avoided the clique "love" poem, which probably as an after-thought a clique. It flows well and the love you expressed in the poem is delightful. You have wrote in the universal language of love, and comparison to an angel is beautiful. I love and believe in angels, they do walk among us....Thank you so very much...Dale

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Dale. I appreciate the kind words. I write often of the clique "love", but I try to tie something to it most of the time. And there are angels with us, if we allow them in.

[Confuser]

You're welcome and right about angels...always with me. So thankful to God. I'll will read more; am so sleepy but especially the love poems, I am TERRIBLE with them!!!

[Daydreamer]

Another beautiful ode to angels, may she continue to bring you peace and inspiration. Thank you for sharing this!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Day. She must be my angel because the peace she brings me is beyond what I expected in heaven. Now I have to go write another love poem. I think I just inspired myself. LOL

[Aries1984]

This just put a smile on my face. Very beautifully written.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you Aries i appreciate your taking time to read my work. I am glad you smiled. I cannot ask for more.

Id like to clarify that last part of my review after the words Nice poem. I was referring to the word sleep. I just looked back at it and it sounds like I was talking about the poem in general. The poem is fine. Just wanted to clear that up. :)

[Willard Wells]

I never took it any other way. I don't ruffle that easy if at all. In reality I just made some changes to it and some changes I like and some not so much. Thanks for the help.

[Relic]

You've shared a feeling you had that made you happy. There's nothing wrong with that. You're a lucky guy and I envy you. I personally would not repeat the same word too much, as in this case the word sleep. For example: ...And feel so relaxed, that I drift off as well. Nice poem. Of course, I can see someone liked it so use your own judgement. :)

[Willard Wells]

Some of these I write and step back and see. Some I like don't fair so well and ones I don't like fair better. I go back to all and will re structure if I see what I like, but not if it changes my original intend. Thank you for taking time to read my work and I value your comments and I am sure they will be in my thoughts in the future with this piece.

[Relic]

No problem Willard. I go back and revise all the time. Writing is never finished, its abandoned as one of my professors used to say.

[Riv]

I really like this, I feel like I can relate. There's nothing like sleeping next to your significant other, suddenly the world around you melts away. You can sleep more peacefully than you usually would alone. Great poem, pen on!

[Willard Wells]

Thank yo Lim, I appreciate your reading my work and commenting. And yes it is the place to be to find true peace.

[Quilla]

Really wonderful repetition and half-rhymes. Hope this lovely woman read this :)

[Willard Wells]

I read it to her as she sat next to me and touched my arm. And smiled and laughed in her bashful way. I think I see inspiration for another piece. LOL. Thank you for reading and I am glad you enjoyed. Peace Out.

[Jamestown]

Well penned!
if you have an angel present peace is definitely in the mix:)
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

[Willard Wells]

Yes i have an angel present and it bring peace to the valley, my heart and luckily my brain. She is like a drug on my overactive mind. Giving me calm within the noise.

[Darren K. Jackson]

Very well written sir. Very touching and very deep.

[Willard Wells]

I woke this morning leaving her sleeping as I started reading and writing and having coffee. Thoughts of her still in my mind and the moments just before sleep and I had to express my feelings. Thank you for reading and commenting on my work.

[Darren K. Jackson]

I've often found the same thing, when I first wake or about to fall asleep. It seems to be these time that the inspirations to write happen, and wow them it flows. Angels are always among us brother
