It's a strange caress tonight
that brushes my hair from my brow
and strokes my cheeks in serpent circles.
Watered down tears flood my breasts and
pleading hands draw me closer.
You hold my heart and stop my breath and
in an instant you melt my armour and
crumble these walls that hold so safe.
Danger calls and I come running.
Tonight I will sleep in your arms and
pray a million times that tomorrow
I will wake beside you and
dream of better things.
Man, I love the imagery here...this was a lovely poem. I LOVED it!
