A Little Something

Slave

I’m a captive of your lips,
A slave to your eyes.
I cannot escape,
No matter how I try.

In warmth and safety,
Your arms surround me
You keep me here,
As your love enfolds me.

You have detained me
With your gentle ways.
I’m a prisoner of the heart
I don’t wish to escape.
