Stay The Night

The wind is howling outside.
Lock the doors,
close the shutters,
light the candles,
let the wrath of
the storm pass us by.
These frozen sheets are
never enough to ward off the cold.
Take my hand as it reaches for yours
and just lay here beside me.
Hold me close with the heat of your body
sending shivers across my back.
Let me lay my head in your arms
as I press my lips on them,
while yours travel across 
the back of my neck.
I'll hold your hand as it 
lay softly against my stomach,
like an achor that keeps
the nightmares at bay.
Lend me your warmth and
I'll share you mine.
Only say you'll stay,
even just for tonight.
