Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re all safe within the confines of your homes, and haven’t caused bodily harm to any family member also trapped inside with you.

In all seriousness…I do hope you are well.  We’re all good here.  The town shuts down at 8PM.  Food establishments can remain open but for take out only.  I can’t visit my mom because the nursing home is on lock-down.  No one in or out!! Hubby still has to work because he cannot work from home, and Lys has had all her pet sitting jobs cancelled. But better safe than sorry.  Who knows what could happen.  Hopefully, social distancing will help contain the beast that is COVID-19.

Please heed the guidelines put forth by your local & state government.  It’s for your, and everyone else’s,  protection.

Love you all,

Dorinda

When darkness falls around me

You are the light that clears my mind

As the night grows darker still

You are the comfort I seek to find

The turmoil that surrounds me

Is simply brushed away by you

When you wrap your arms around me

I feel alive again, my soul, anew

I want to watch the moonlight

Fall gently across your face

I want to feel your gentle touch

As your fingers softly trace

These feelings that surround me

The warmth, I feel inside

The joyfulness, around me

Where safely, I abide

Wrapped within your arms

From night until we wake

Sated forever, and always

With the love our body’s make

Devotion ~ #RomanticTuesday #poetry

You’ve felt the flames of a lovers scorn

Those hands that touched your heart, forlorn

Yet, you haven’t felt, my fire, my soul

When I slowly burn, and take control

Of your heart, that once, was full of doubt

Is now a heart, so full, devout

For you’ve entered into my welcoming arms

Where I’ll safely keep you, away from harm

In the Arms of a Lover

#poetry, calm, caress, In The Arms of a Lover, lovers, Night Owl Poetry, poems, safety, touch

A warm touch, a soft caress
stroking, calming
like a sedative

In the arms of a lover
there are no walls, no
barriers to break

Only the fortitude
of knowing you are
safely nestled in tranquility
