In These Arms

In these arms,
there is a sense of homecoming...
a tranquil serenity
that is borne solely of
love itself.
In these arms,
the emotion is tangible,
the intensity is palpable.
In these arms,
many tears have been shed...
In these arms,
there is a raw and powerful attraction
heightened only by your touch.
In these arms,
life is seen anew
in a definitive aura
as that of childhood's innocence.
There is a certain awe
that stirs the senses
when I'm in these arms.
In these arms,
the heart beats in tune with
the security that
there will never again be lonely moments.
Vital discoveries of self have been made
in these arms.
I've tried running from them,
pushing them away,
and turning my back to them.
But nowhere else have I felt so safe,
so warm, and so beautiful...
And there's nowhere else I'd rather be-
than in your loving arms.
