Surreal

Another poem from the series "Poems For Him" written for my partner and muse AJK

Surreal

Hands touching softly

where different fingers 

used to grasp and restrict

This one is different

and this time I genuinely mean it.

Surreal

how He is the polar opposite 

to the one who tried to hush me

He listens to my cries and holds me.

Surreal 

the feeling of safety

after all the pain he makes me feel at ease

his arms are a fortress 

being protected is surreal.
