PLEASE AS I LAY MY BODY DOWN
TO AN ENTERNAL SLEEP
I PRAY MY LOVE FOR YOU TO KEEP
JUST LAY YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER
BUT DO NOT WEEP
THE TEARS FROM YOUR EYES
WOULD JUST REINFORCE MY FEARS
FEARS OF THE DARKNESS ON IT'S WAY
THAT WILL MAKE NIGHTS OUT OF ALL MY DAYS
DAYS I'LL NEVER SEE
DAYS WITHOUT YOU AND ME
I WISH I COULD STAY
TO SEE THE BRIGHTNESS OF FUTURE DAYS
TO WAKE UP IN YOUR ARMS
THE SUN AND SONGS OF THE BIRDS AS OUR ALARM
THE HAPPINESS I'VE BEEN SHOWN
IS THE LOVE WE'VE BOTH KNOWN
A LOVE THAT GREW BRIGHTER DAY BY DAY
A LOVE SO BRIGHT IT WOULD LITE UP
THE APPROACHING ENTERNAL BLACKNESS OF NIGHT
NOTHING LEFT TO DO
BUT TO SAY I LOVE YOU
YOUR LIFE IS FREE
FREE FROM YOUR COMMITMENT
TO THE SICKENED ME
DO NOT STAY AT HOME
PLEASE DO NOT REMAIN ALONE
BECAUSE YOU POSSES A LOVE
THAT MUST BE KNOWN
KNOWN TO ALL
WHO ARE IN DIRE NEED
FOR A WANTING LOVE, FREE FROM GREED
A LOVE I STILL WANT AND NEED
A LOVE OUT OF MY REACH
OH GOD, I WISH I COULD FILL THE BREACH
JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME
WITH YOUR BODY PRESSED UP AGAINST MINE
TO HOLD YOU TO THE END IS MY LAST WISH
YOUR LOVING TOUCH
YOUR SENSUOUS KISS
BOTH FEELINGS FROM THIS WORLD I'LL TRUELY MISS
JUST LET ME CLOSE MY EYES AND SLEEP
OH PLEASE DO NOT WEEP
JUST KEEP YOUR GRIN
SO I CAN FEEL THE HAPPINESS FROM WITHIN
MAKING THINGS BRIGHT AS I SLOWLY SLIP
INTO THE GRASP OF THE NIGHT
YOU MADE EVERYTHING SO RIGHT
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO SAY IS
I LOVE YOU
AND GOODNIGHT

MY PRAYER (EPITATH)

MY TIME IS NOW GONE
YOU MUST WANDER ON AND LIVE YOUR LIFE
HAVE A HOME AND BECOME SOMEONES WIFE
JUST REMEMBER I'LL BE LOOKING OVER YOU
WITH ALL MY LOVE AND CARE
WHEN YOU WALK INTO A ROOM
I'LL ALREADY BE THERE
SO DON'T BE SCARED
OF ROOMS OF BLACK
OR QUIVERY SHIVERS
RUNNING UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK
THERE JUST MY FINGERS OF ONCE LONG AGO
IMAGING THE FEELING THEY SO LONGED TO KNOW
PLEASE DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED
BY UNKNOWN SOUNDS IN THE NIGHT
FOR THEY ARE ONLY THE SCREAMS
OF MY HEART IN PERILOUS FLIGHT
A HEART LONGING TO BE SEEN
IF BUT ONLY IN SOME CLOUDED DREAM
I KNOW YOU SEE ME
SOMETIMES IN YOUR SLEEP
FOR THE TIES WE HAD RAN FAR TO DEEP
IN LIFE MY EYES WERE DRY
IN DEATH THEY'RE TO FAST TO WEEP
ALWAYS SO NEAR TO WHISPER
"I LOVE YOU" IN YOUR EAR
WORDS YOU'LL NEVER HEAR
WORDS SPOKEN SO MANY TIMES
THAT THEY WERE ETCHED
INTO THE DEPTS OF OUR MINDS
I MUST LEAVE YOU NOW
FOR I CANNOT STAY
THE ANGELS OF DEATH
ARE APPROACHING THIS WAY
FOR YOU SEE I'M ALSO AN ANGEL OF DEATH
BUT ONE THAT HAS GONE ASTRAY
GONE ASTRAY TO CAPTURE ONE LAST GLIMPSE
OF A LONG PAST DAY
I KNOW WHAT I DID WAS RIGHT
SO HEED THESE LAST WORDS
LOOK FOR MY FACE ON SOME STORMY NIGHT
IN THE CLOUDS
OR FLASHES OF LIGHT
MY BODY MAY BE GONE
BUT MY SOUL LIVES ON
TO BE SEEN BY YOU
IN EACH AND EVERY DAWN

(PLEASE RATE THIS POEM WHEN YOU FINISH READING IT...GOOD OR BAD,
THANK'S FOR YOUR TIME)
