Notes About The Poem

In Your Arms

In your arms
      I'm so wealthy
         as we
            slow dance beneath 
               the moon.
                 I pray for
                   many
                    nights like this.
                   Hold me
                 close and tight,
               and never
            let me go, my true.
          And I promise to hold
       you
     in mine, forever.
