Love is a comfortable coat June 16, 2010

I want to wrap you around me like a coat.

I want to pull up the hood and huddle closer

to keep out cold realities.

I want to button in the warm assurance

of your body tight against me.

I want to cuddle into the closeness

of your heart next to mine,

and the comfort and contentedness

of being wrapped in your love.

    Beautiful! That describes my safe harbor . . . something I am very thankful for. 🙂

    An oldie, but a goodie!

  3. Such warming words for a rainy August day! I love the variation in your poetry, how you can write about beautiful feelings such as love but also about ordinary and peculiar stuff, such as migraines. Always brings a smile to my face! x

    • You’ve summarized it well! I’m about to send 2 collections off in different directions. One is called Him & Her, and the other is called Snapshots. One explores relationships, the other captures moments in words. Apparently, that’s what I write about! 😉

    I really like this one.

  5. I want that too!!!! So much more than I share online, or off. So fortunate are those (including you) – who have such comfort. This was a beautiful expression.
