It is that time
just before slumber
When my eyelids
become heavy
My breathing
becomes deep.
It is that time
I feel your hand
gently touch
the small of my back.
It is that time
our hearts together
beat evenly as one.
Sweet rest.

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Death comes not when we cease to breath, but when we cease to dream.

Very wonderful writings, I have many untitled poems, and sometimes I never find a title for them, doesn't matter, a poem will always be a poem, title or no...
