Juliet Ligon Poet Rhyme

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.
