Our Bed

Our bed is comfortable, warm, welcoming 

but not as welcoming as your arms

they surround me so tenderly, yet firmly

your whispers let me know I am loved

I am desired and I am finally secure

your lips, gently, then forcefully take mine

in kisses that leave me weak and wanting

I hear your heart synchronized with mine

as the mysteries of darkness and passion

I am yours, My Love, this treasured night

and every other night though eternity

when passion spent, I curl up in your arms 

to welcome the peaceful sleep surrounding

the world of love we've created together
