Array ( [sid] => 95542 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sleep On [time] => 2005-05-23 22:45:06 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Sleep on.. sleep on
my pefect flower..
I could not break so calm a sleep-
but wake to sunshine or a shower...
to smile or to weep.

Sleep on.. sleep on
like sculpted thing
so beautiful as you lay;
an angel fans you with his wings
to wake you for today.

I'll sit beside you here on earth,
so angelic is thy form
while up in Heaven you've a birth
in a place where comes no storm.

I stir you not
my velvet rose..
so beautiful and still
as the hour glass proclaims the time
no happiness can fill.

Sleep on.. sleep on
some fairy dreams
if woven in your sleep
but soon your spirit,
calm, serene
must wake to smile and weep.

For now, I sit beside you love,
for all we've ever known
and hoping that you'll soon awake
or I smile and weep alone.

This was so beautiful and so sad. Which to me is a heart wrenching mix.
Beautiful. Wonderful ending especially.

Deep sadness, but powerful beauty in this piece of work. You amaze me with your talent. One day I will hit this peak.

Billy what can I say? Absolutely remarkable. So sad yet so beautiful. You have such a flare with ur pen Billy. Ur talented ability to be able to write down ur emotions like this is just so unique in form. Eloquently written and conveyed as only u know how to do my friend.
Best of luck to u dearest Billy.

oh Billy, this was an excellent poem. Much thought went into it, and I could tell you are very careful with your thoughts and way before posting it today. It was sad, and yet resigned, I hope you haven't lost a loved one to death, as some, it can be devastating indeed!
Enjoy reading your poems Billy, they are smooth, and easy to digest........this was absolutely beautiful in content also.
Warm love, and let me welcome you to YPDC. I've been gone about 5 months and just got back, or would have welcomed you sooner.
Keep up the good work..........you are very talented!!!
Warm love
lovingcritters

Wow......uhm..... and wow

sorry for the lack of adjectives. I am just so at a loss for words,
(something your writes frequently afflict upon myself). To be
in your presence is to feel the gentle caress of an angel ....I
would imagine. This was stunning billy. Simply breathtaking...
..(and brain damaging so it would seem, as I have not the words
to express the flood of emotion you have evoked...)

A treasure.

Ever gentle and kind, dearest billy. Much love and happiness
to you ..

~Breezy
