Okay...I'm totally cheating. This is just a little, mini-poem to hold you over while I get my latest poem in blog-ready condition. But even though it's short, it's still one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy.
Swallow Me Whole
at night i lie in your cocoon
and breathe your love into me.
your heartbeat is the rhythm of my dreams
and my lips dance to the symphonies of your kiss.
i cry just to feel you wipe away the tears.
if you're not in my arms, you're too far away.
i love to lose myself in your embrace.
swallow me whole.
