          I wish to fall asleep
             With your name
             Hanging from
             My lips –

          And to wake within an instant
          When my own name is
          Forgotten.

          And the dawn holds only you.

To lose oneself so totally in Divine Love that one's own name does not matter... and it should not matter... for truly, all that is is Love...

Thank you... incredibly beautiful song of love.  

Love,

I do believe
you just made
forgetting your
name
impossible.

At least,
for us poet readers...

I wouldn't be surprised if Ralph Waldo Emerson had a poem such as this in mind when he wrote in the preface to *Parnassus* (1875):

"Poetry teaches the enormous force of a few words, and, in proportion to the inspiration, checks loquacity."

Need I say more?
Well done!
