Lover’s Arms

In her lover’s arms
She feels protected and warm
Like a prized possession
Encased and safe
With a heart beat there
To remind her
That he will never leave
Or neglect her
His soft breaths
Against her neck
The slight shifts of his limbs
To pull her closer
Squeeze her tighter
The half asleep kiss
He plants on her shoulder
That tells her
That even in slumber
He can’t stop loving her
How complete she feels
In her lover’s arms
How right the world feels
In her lover’s arms
She steadily falls asleep
         …in her lover’s arms
