Hold Me Close

Hold me close
       then lie quiet
    thinking your thoughts
       but saying them not
    for I shall know them
      and move among them
as I hold you close
      and lie quiet

Hold me close
       touching me gently
    each cell waking
       under feathery fingertips
    composing a symphony
       of the senses
as I hold you close
       touching you gently

Hold me close
       kissing me deeply
    pressing against me
       moving inside me
    weaving my joinings
       unraveling my soul
as I hold you close
       kissing you deeply

Hold me close
       as we float
    among the clouds
       sharing
         caring
           loving
       learning
    all is new
      and warm
         and free
when I hold you
       and you hold me
