Poem

Come, come my baby-girl,

Let me hold you,

Lie next to me with your heart beating gently against mine,

Limbs entwined.

***

I'll keep you safe,

My body protects yours,

No monster will creep in, no stray wolf dare peep in,

No shame, no sadness to weep in.

***

Just our moment,

Let peace wash over us,

Let the dark of the night hold us together

Me holding you,

Always, forever.
