Untouchable

Bombs fall and 
schrapnel
sprays my 
burdened back
and lifting my head
I catch glimpse
of safety 
I could crawl 
into your eyes
to rest my head
I run to
your silk voice
my bunker
of reprieve
soft safety
in your touch
as the world 
is at war and 
I hide quiet
strong chest above
me guarding my 
my honor
while maliced
bullets shed
angry blood 
we stay 
hidden as the 
enemy scrambles
chasing it's tail
knawing on 
it's misery 
our souls safe
untouchable
