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.
