the world outside stirs
seems it’s time to leave
but it is not, cannot
be that time
rolling to my side
reaching out yet again
my finger grazes your shoulder
like a silken feather
slipping to trace the slight curve of your side
determined to savor, to stay this moment
sliding to your waist and around
seeking
to remove the subtle distance
remaining
skin to skin
my hand clasped in yours
safe on your chest
your back to my breast
in the fold of my arms
both finding shelter, finding solace
in a world of our own
soft, easy breaths
a whispered caress
safe and sheltering arms
our strength is in
this world we share
skin to skin
heart to heart
soul to soul
untouchable
invincible
sacred
