In My Arms


In my arms
you can stay
as long as you like,
so I can rock you
gently to sleep in the
sounds of the morning,
cradling your head
from all worry and care as
my heartbeat soothes,
rhythmically,
quietly,
back…and
forth….
lines vanishing in
trusting slumber in
the crook of my love.


In my arms
you can stay
as long as you need,
so I can hold you
so soft in the
hush
of the night,
unfold your mind into
the blanket of me.
Keep you warm,
safe from harm
as you dream of
the soon to be.
Lullaby, my darling,
so you can be
strong enough
and
trust me enough
to bear up your burdens.


In my arms
hold me tight,
comes the light
as you sleep,
back and forth,
fluff-up your soul
and know
WE BELONG.


In my arms
my heartbeat--a
song you can feel;
smooth away fears,
nuzzle up to my soul
and dream in
first rays of our morning.
Taste tomorrow's
sweet taste
on my skin,
smell our new life begin--
where you belong,
my dear love,
hurry back
to your home
in my arms.
