The Most Comfortable Place Is You
A poem
your fingers comb
the anxiety
out of my hair,
plowing the land
to make room for ideas
to grow,
clearing the storm away
-
you leave butterfly-light
kisses along my temples,
i give praise to the neurones that
spark giddy goosebumps,
your embrace is
home
-
your arms wrap around
my vulnerability
with utmost care,
holding me
like a gem,
you make me feel
like a gem
-
when I lie
surrounded by you,
a peace floods
my senses,
a calmness settles
my bones,
boundless gratitude
for you
my love.

I’d like to give thanks and love to my wife for inspiring this poem. This was written when we were apart for a week-long work conference and all I could long for was her presence beside me again.
Te amo.
