Sleep Thee Well

Sleep well
tonight
my beloved
knowing

I will
never
say goodbye
to you

I am
lucky
I love
you

the beauty
of our
memories
you were

and still
are
always free
to leave

me
but I
still see
you

in
my memory
and mind
we still

make love
with such
beauty
your naked

body
I still
passionately touch
with tenderness

as you
eternally hold me
eternally touch me
as eternally I

drink
in
the taste
of you

No matter
wherever
you could
possibly go...

whoever
you by chance
are momentarily
with I share...

a richer
love
than that
love...

Who wants
to breathe
in the breath
of our being

together
moments
of eternity
immortality?

The vast sea
oceans of sand
winds of time
still whisper of our love.
