Love Is A Balm

By: Diwakar Menon Methil

Your love
Envelopes me
Like a soothing balm.
Your care becalms
My stressed heart
And becomes the core
Of my very being,
Quite unseeing.

I never had enough,
I want more and more
Of your love
That packages me
Into a cocoon;
Protects me
Like nothing can.

I am your man.
I feel so soft,
I wait so warm
I remain so snug.
-And your hug.

I am in your arms
Rescuing me
From all harms,
Your lips in mine
Soft like ermine
Tender and sweet.

The day we did meet
Is a blessed day
I am happy in its sway
Being with you
In love’s haven.
And it is something like
Gaining heaven
Without trying
Without even dying.
