Vessel

I would gladly hold you
for tonight
be keeper of your sorrow
hold your tears till tomorrow
guard you against the bitter night
that would have us

Just for now
to hold
to warm us from the cold
to love
a tryst for the evening
something simple

I'll be your vessel
for tonight
whisper in your ear
tell you stories of tomorrow
and the good times
and the summer sun
