*repost due to all the oh so lovely sensual poems in here of late...
must be the summer heat  

~Sanctuary~

When your world becomes cruel and angry,
when your skies turn dark and gray ...
Always remember I'll be your shelter,
always know in me ... you have a kind place to stay.

Should your load become too heavy,
and you're troubled by the voices in your head ...
you need not retreat inside those walls,
gently lay your tired mind in my healing hands instead.

Find sanctuary ... in my open arms,
when it all gets too hard ... when it all becomes too much ...
Take my hand and come with me,
find safe refuge in my tender, caressing, touch.

My lips to offer quiet comfort,
let my mouth be your remedy ...
Soft kisses to close your eyes,
whispered desires to keep you company.

Let my shoulders take the burdens,
I'll carry the weight so that you might rest ...
Lay your weary body down next to mine,
I'll hold you while you sleep, your head on my forgiving breast.

With in me ... may you finally breathe,
while my body rocks you with a sensual lullaby ...
As you lift up to peaceful pleasures,
the only sound made ... will be our contented sighs.
