Blanket Me

I normally don't solicit
that arms around each other
walking down the street
hands in each other's back pockets
sort of touchy feely
garden vine gone wild
brick killing kudzu
sort of closeness.
But right now---
at this moment---
in this very instant
I would shamelessly hide
in your arms,
chin tucked in your shoulder
and just forget the world
forget the musts
the shoulds
and the oughtas
and just wrap myself
in the warm peace
of your abiding love.
