as the Sandman hovers above us

arm around you, bodies relaxed
electrical pulses from the brain surge 
my body slips into a paralysis 

everything is where it belongs

in the security of next to you

lies more than a reward for the day

i am far beyond mere satisfaction

i am floating in a placid being

waves gently guiding me

i leave with you on the Ameles potamos

the warmth of your kiss goodnight

upon my wedding ring

a ritual so among the beloved moments

you touch me with, fresh warmth at days end

that guides me to slumber

life could not have given me more than this

holding you as the Sandman hovers above
now i wish to hold you in my dreams

until morning brings to me

the dream i love the most

as the sun roars into existence

your lips pressed to mine
