Under Wings

Such fragility shouldn't be exposed
without guidance and reassurance.


I enfold you in my arms tightly, and absorb
every delicate cell of your physical existence:
Feel the pound of my bloody pump
and flood me through your gentle arteries.

I'll wear your scars and dry your tears
as you nestle in my skin.
Sit inside my loving fortress while I secure your soul,
and in the safety within me you'll play with the world;
pushing and prodding, however you please,
fearlessly.
