Within The Circle Of Our Embrace Poem by Louise Tredoux

Cuddling with you on a rainy night,
my leg bent into the curve of yours,
my lips pressed against the satin skin
on your back, my arms holding you tight

This is my idea of a perfect night, the wind
howling outside, driving rain splashing against
the window panes, while we are warm together
inside, your body anchoring my spirit tonight

Your quiet happiness spreading through my heart
and limbs, feeling so safe within the circle of our
embrace, sharing the same space, protected
against all kinds of weather by the united

Power of our contentment…
