I wrote this almost 2 years ago and somehow, never posted it. This was written during a long distance relationship; we are now planning our wedding. Every night, as I fall asleep in this very position, I am reminded of these words. ~Lullaby~ What I wouldn’t give To have you in my arms again, Breathe your scent And snuggle close to you. I want to watch you sleep, See your chest rise and fall In peaceful slumber. Let me lay my hand Over your heart, So I can Feel it beating Beneath my touch. I want to be Lulled to sleep By its rhythm. |

Wow. "We also know how cruel the truth often is, and we wonder whether delusion is not more consoling."- Henri Poincare (1854-1912) |

Tara I can relate to the long distance relationship. THis poem speaks volumes about the emotions faced in these types of relatioships. so glad to hear that it is a happy ending "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

What a beautiful image you create with your words! I can see you lying peacefully with love's soft glow shining from your face as you sleep next to the man you love. Beautifully done! And welcome back; we've missed you :-) Congratulations on the "happy ending" wedding. (Honest!! lol) |

Thank you everybody for your comments. It's nice to be back. I've had a bit of writer's block, but my honey told me last night that it's time for me to sit down with my pen and "get to work" and stop procrastinating. Hopefully, there will be something new in the not so distant future. |
