In Your Arms

For my wife, Jessica.
The beating of your heart
chimes softly
against my ear
It's even, steady cadence
keeps rhythm
to the beat of my heart.
The softness of your flesh
is pliant
and inviting.
Your ceaseless
even breaths
beckons me
like a gentle lullaby.
Your arms
strong and tender
wrap around my body
Inviting me, luring me
into a cocoon
of peace and harmony.
And the love you give freely
is felt at the very core
of my soul.
