Cradle Me, Baby
By Catherine S. Rapicano ~ January 6, 2008
collapsing in relief,
hold me to your happy heart
let not this time be brief.
We'll move in perfect motion
rocking gently to the sway,
as I trust you as you trust me
I will not give us away.
Cradle me within your heart
as if a newborn soul -
softy, with a quiet kiss
complete me - I am whole.
Stay with me to watch the night,
don't give in to sleep -
out in darkened seas of sky,
we're stars within the deep.
Come the dawn and brighter beams
we'll rest, as shadows harden -
I commit this crime of love
and you will always pardon.
