Panacea

There's a peace in those eyes

A calmness, tranquility about it,

As we lie together, and you close them slow.

There's a warmth in your arms,

A restfulness, alleviation about it,

As my cuts and burns fade, away they go.

There's a euphoric in your scent,

An intoxication, as I clutch your shirt to my heart;

This moment will pass, unruly tears, they know. 

But even when we're miles apart now,

Your panacea still works wonders, I don't know how.
