The Magic of Your Arms

Lightning charges into the atmosphere. Thunder tosses his tantrums of passion. Sway me to sleep in unwavering arms with the fuzz of your body ever near like a tough teddy bear, trusted from youth. When my unsettled heart begins to fear, hold me until the setting of the moon. Whisper courageous words, my thoughts to steer as my skin melts into your compassion. In unwavering arms, sway me to sleep. My dreams will be sweet for there you'll appear. 3-28-2021 AbRacadabRa rhyme scheme 10 syllables per line (Not for contest)
