Kevin

My safe place
is his shoulder
the crook where it meets his neck
and his skin there
draws the sweetest of his
fragrance
an elixir that soothes me
when I hurt.
His voice
washes over me
like rainfall on parched soil
it's treble seeps through
my pores and tells my racing heart to slow
that I am safe.
There is no need to flee or fight
no danger in day or night
that he can't save me from.
My reassurance is in his arms
that close around me
he is my warrior
against the world.
