Locked in Your Embrace

Locked in your embrace
Wrapped up like a blanket
So warm and safe
Your arms envelope me,
   strong and sure.
With my eyes closed, 
   I can really feel you
Sense the power you 
   have over me.
Your face close to mine
   I breathe you in deeply.
My heart beat syncing 
   up to yours
   No longer two, 
   but one
Where you start and I end
   is unclear
Irrelevant to this moment in time
When our two souls meet,
   transcending possibilities
   defying all odds
   illogical and still so right
Locked in your embrace
I'm transported to a simpler place,
   a happier place
Where time stands still
And two lovers delight in
   each other for eternity. 

The Words

The words came to me in a dream
So sweet and smooth, 
They floated by
Making me smile as I watched
   them swirl around
Reaching out and grabbing them,
   pulling them close
Forming sentences, phrases that sound
   lyrical and poetic
My body moving to their rhythm, 
   not in control, 
   but giving it up to the power
   of these words
Content, satisfied, complete
Their message reverberating
like a gong sending its pitch
   into the universe
The words came to me in a dream
Lost like a faded memory
As my eyes opened to the reality 
   of a new day.
