Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Free verse

Hold Me Like the Moon

Hold me
in your arms
like you would hold
the moon.
Explore the contours
of my face
as though wonders
to behold.

Hold me
in your arms
like the sun,
feeling 
my fire,
absorbing 
my warmth.

Hold me
in your arms
like you would hold
the earth,
with my oceans
and continents,
like the center
of your life.
