Protected Heart

knowing of a wary space
knowing where to reside
where I can safely place
the feelings that I hide

coming to my home
sweet home
unlocked with golden key
nevermore to roam
dry loam
my asylum is safe, you see

nevermore to fear the dark
or rest with unquiet thoughts
evermore to feel sweet love
loving my sanctuary sought

you are welcome
here within
you, here in my home
with me
sweetened height of pure
delight
because you alone
hold the key

never do we think
to ever love again
even though at life we wink
but never touch again
never knowing miracles
can come within a blink
so we remain impervious
until we start to think

a revelation can thus come
in the smile or word of one
and thus why you are here with me
for you alone have held the key

for you know of a wary space
and you know where to reside
where you can safely place
the feelings that you hide

here, in the protected heart of me

We all seek that sanctuary, Lady. Lucky are those who can find it...

Nicely done...

===================

love the soft flowing cadence of this lady..
and the serene essence
yes...sanctuary and contentment found in the love of another...
beautiful poetry and sentiments here


Love is my religion, I believe in nothing else.
To find that inspiration, live that inner vision.
Love is my religion...I believe in you.
