Haven

In the darkness, I feel you 

Holding me 

arms wrapped 

Around my waist.

Your head gently resting on 

My shoulder. 

Eyes clamped closed,

The warmth of your breath 

Against my bare neck. 

helldogs are unable

Nip at my toes. 

Sinking like an anchor

Deeper and deeper 

Into the mattress

Into the depths of the 

Black sea.
