In Your Arms


Exhausted from a day
Both stubborn and long
I come to you
Weary
And older than my days
I lay my head upon you
Close my eyes
And welcome myself home.

The rhythm of your breathing
Caresses my soul
Your scent, warm and delicate
Wraps around me
And whispers
I love you
Your heartbeat carries me
Toward that secret realm
Of memories and dreams.

You reach for me
Silently
A fingertip brushes against my lashes
A thumb sighs across my cheek
A touch as soft as your love.
Without a word, you say goodnight
And I fall gently to sleep
In your arms.

Trew,

Sigh . . . this was breath taking.  Truly beautiful and devoted writing.  She is one lucky lady my friend.  Excellent writing.

Trew...I do not know how I missed this one but I am glad I went on search today. This is heartbreaking in its story. We all need a love like this to come home to, and Im glad you have it.< !signature-->

Thanks so much everyone!
This poem just kind of poured itself out onto the paper.  The easiest, I think, I have ever written.  I agree with all of you that everyone needs to feel this kind of love and even those who do, sometimes don't realize it.  
Oh, and Lone Wolf, I am the lucky one.  
Thanks for responding everybody, it means a lot!

Exquisit writing.  To be able to come home to this would be sheer delight.  You have penned a beauty with this one.
