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.

Great stuff, Kathy! I always thought and believed that a poet had a high verbal aptitude and gift for words. I wrote a bit in my high school years- but was also a rhythm guitar player in a small rock band, and actually songs are made up of "poems" and notes. I would like to visit you sometime via email and pick your brain. I am a happily married Christian man, age 59 and disabled after 30.5 years at Chrysler in WI.
Have a great day.
Cordially,
