My Lover’s Arms

“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs and the floor dances.” -Rumi

In my lover’s arms
I’m enveloped in sheer bliss
Ecstasy is mine
And he seals it with a kiss
As I inhale his fragrant breath
Love songs fill my ears
With words of wishfulness
That take away my fear
Of surrender

In my lover’s arms
I never feel alone
For I am safe and warm
In this haven I call home
Swaying to and fro
With the pounding of his heart
We dance in syncopation
And the rhythm plays a part
In our surrender
