Cocoon

cocoon me in your wrapper cloth
in safety without a whisper
what manner of man am I ?
if these are my most tender longings

The feel of nipple and breast
satisfied my childhood need for nurture
the same craving in these advanced years
for which I find I am thirsting

were is my hero's heart and manhood’s quest
pathetically this guy is asking
so I can win myself that wrapper cloth
and that cocoon without a whisper
