Where I belong
My favorite place and time
is right there and then
where and when my left ear rests upon his chest
right above his heart.
Where and when I hear his heart beating
synchronized with my breathing.
His right arm holding me close.
My hands trace every curve of each muscle. They silently speak to him words I often say,
"I love you".
In response I feel his hands whisper back,
"I love you too".
No words spoken
Just our hands speaking in Braille
Solidifying our kindred soul.
It is my favorite place and time
Because then and there I feel loved.
Then and there I feel completely safe,
Where and when I feel safe, I also feel protected.
There is where I forget about everything else in my life
When for a moment time stands still for me
As it literally flies by.
It is my safe haven, my reprieve
Then and there I could stay forever,
Living in my fairytale dream.
Instead I drive away, back to where I live
Back to "hell" as locals call it.
To start the week all over again.
