Home

Home
is where the touch of your hand
warms my skin
and the taste on your lips
reminds me 
that I’m where I belong;

Where your breath
chases shivers down my neck
in slow motion
and where your arms hold me captivated
but not captive.

Home is where
words flow silently 
in shades of blue and brown
and where I rest my head
against the beat of your heart and know
I am home.
