Love Poem: At First Embrace

At First Embrace

You reached for me
pulled me to you at first embrace
and I was 
home
in port from every restless, needless journey.

I wanted to exhale, completely
and sudden sleep came over me
your body,
narcotic 

I could have stayed there forever
but my impulse was to run away from
home.
