pine tree scent
of smoke and warmth
I'll protect you
keep you safe
in the light green confines
of my bedroom
in the beige walls
of my family room
or the yellow green
of my kitchen
I'll protect you
from anyone
and everyone
invested
and devoted
I want to see your eyes light up
and you lips crack into a light smile
your hands hold mine
soft and sweet
the touch as light as feathers
or as heavy as a midnight storm
hearts beating and hands caressing
soft blankets and cotton tie dye shirts
in these walls
this small room
safe haven
for our love
a symphony of violins and cellos
drums and maybe even flutes
not quit like the rest of them
elements of pink and blue hues
and stars above
the flying birds
of everything I love
or ever have loved
you come first now
and you have for some time
even when I was hurt
you came first
I'll hold you tight
keep you warm
don't worry
I'm here
