My Arms

my arms
have the strength
to make
you sigh
weak enough
to pull
you close
when I cry
in them
you are
never alone
the one
true place
you can
call home
in them
there is no
dividing light
no separation
between day
and night
just for you
true safety here
for I am
always, always
holding you near
and if ever
your heart
feels a doubt
all you need
to do
is reach out

Good enjoyable poem!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

1,
You do write some of the MOST COMFORTABLE poetry around!!!
I can't help but relax when I read it.
Thank you.
This is like a freshly fluffed feather bed, just waiting . . .
No, it's better than that!
Thanks again!

Lady,
"weak enough
to pull
you close
when I cry"
This is quite a phrase!
Original diction, very expressive, needfully vulnerable.
I'm impressed!
