The Mistress of Word Play

There is a peace now
at this moment before sleep takes me.
All the loneliness once felt
disappears, it vanishes and forsakes me.

Only the warm afterglow remains
and wraps me in its never ending depth.
The bliss of the day, the time spent
with you, all those memories are left.

Now I can close my eyes and hold
not just a  momentary, fleeting vision of you
but I can turn and see your loving face
at this wondrous point when the day is through.
