No Place But You (Poem)

No Place But You
by Tim Kavi

in your arms
is a fortress
of our
daily built love

in your kisses
are the
plans that bring
armies to nought

in your hugs
are a
lasting embrace

it is a strong
love
that cannot
be bought

only
a surrender
to your love

is where
I want
to be

knowing
you are there
in your bed

waiting for me

I march
in a careful
cadence

there is
no place
but you

to run with
and be safe

you show
me your
weapons

but there
is no need

I give up

and wave
the white
flag of love.
