Soft Comfort

Rest, darling
I will tend to those weary eyes
With sweet, soft kisses
Until with slumber your lashes fall heavy

Worry not, my love
Let my words fill your mind
Caress every troubling thought
Until they fade away into darkness

Lie still, my dear
All you need is the comfort of my voice
Drink in the solace of each whisper
As secrets find rest softly beneath your skin

Breath in
As I lay myself to rest
Forever inside your heart
Relish the love pulsing through your veins

Have peace, my love
Tonight we need only to be
Two hearts, two minds
Beating as one

Savor this warmth
It is for but a moment
And flees in a breath of wind
