I am a writer. My passion is poetry. I feel words connect people together and help us to understand the feelings we share.

"Embraceable You" by Frank Sinatra

Wrap me in the cocoon
of your love,
make me feel
warm and safe.

Take me to places
only the two of us can feel,
touch me in a manner
only the two of us can enjoy.

Show me gratitude
not hatred,
declare your love
in a manner,
no one,
could ever doubt.

"Hold Me In Your Arms Tonight" by Whitney Houston and Teddy Pendergrass
