Stay in my arms tonight.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Free verse
The air is cold and my mind is awake
So hold me in your arms and my love take
Embrace me with your heart
Engulf me with your love
Blanket my mind like the wings of a dove
Smother me with kisses
Ease away the day
Sing a soft love song or listen to me pray
I whisper my latest truth until I sleep
You spare me your ear then follow me into the deep.
