Oh, the warm of you...
You will not agree---
never agree to this,
but when I hear your voice
I am wrapped in a butter soft quilt,
protected from the hard knocks,
sheltered from harsh language,
and the only thing I require
is the soft sound
of your breath,
the subtle steel
of arms that hold me near
arms that swear to never let me fall
and the hummingbird touch of your kiss
as you pull me toward
a place
I never thought I'd know.
