Rock Me by Jean Varda

Rock Me

Rock me hold me,
take me into
your warm silken 
embrace, hide me
from the suffering of myself
in the pleasure of you

Rock me hold me
tell me everything's alright
tell me I am safe forever
in your love

Rock me hold me
kiss me lightly,
touch me warmly
let me lie in your arms
in the warmth
of your love.
