The Edge of Nirvana

The fires that raged within us
now glow in gentle embers
as I lay in peaceful slumber
in the crook of your arm.

This is by far my favourite place,
where time relinquishes its hold,
stars dance just for us,
and there isn't a care in the universe.

From there I can hear you breathe
and feel your heart beat against my face.
There we simply drift in tranquility,
and float on the edge of nirvana.
