Love Poem: This Place

This Place

a glimmer of light that shines in my dark
a candle lit with novena said
like a child at Christmas I feel the wonder
of all you offer to me

you, the umbrella that keeps me dry
the hand I hold when I'm afraid
blocking out the noise of thunder
your laughter like my favorite song

soft and warm I feel your breath
back to chest upon my neck
arms enfold around me tight
the sleep of angels comes at last
there isn't anywhere I would rather be
than this place you hold in my heart
