~ Hold me Please~  by poetFemmeFatale


I always try to be so strong - but
in your arms tonight - I do belong.
Would you hold me tight & sing to me,
Rock me gently & so tenderly?

As I breathe you in, you stroke my hair
A soothing peace is everywhere...
Within your arms it all seems right
Can I close my eyes, stay here tonight?

If you'll just hold me a little while
Let me drift off there, into your smile -
Somehow I think that's it's okay
To let you hold me close, here in this way.

It feels so good to not be strong
You chase away all that is wrong -
You softly kiss away my tears,
Your laughter helps me through my fears.

I breathe you in and softly ~sigh~
Your whispers, like a lullaby...
You kiss my eyes and stroke my hair,
I know I'm safe here in your stare.

Gently now, I go to sleep
Knowing that my soul, you'll keep...
Wrapped tightly in your arms tonight
This feels okay, this feels alright.

I always try to be so strong - but
in your arms tonight - I do belong...

I think it would be okay. All are vulnerable in some way or another, you have a very smooth flowing way of expressing the intimacy of the time and place. Very very good!

I LOVE this poem.  

I feel like you looked in my heart and saw my greatest desire.  A soft, safe place to fall.  I know where mine is...just can't get to it.  Or at least I shouldn't.

I know that I have told you this before.  But your writing is amazing.

Gen this is the most beautiful poem you have ever written (in my humble and biased opinion)
God knows I would hold you if I could...

This is the kind of relationship I'm looking for..two people that trust and admire each other and spending time together just holding each other.   Beautiful writing.   James

Ah Gen, the guys are lining up, I'll bet, just to hold you...so, share some with the rest of us...or at least, only the ones who know how to do all of the above...

pFF,

Sigh....sometimes it is just nice to be held.  I know that is where I feel safe from all harm too.  Great writing.

Pure beauty, PFF.  Not being strong is a hard thing to do indeed...but it's wonderful to be lost in the arms of the one you love, giving your heart, your soul, and your trust to them completely....gorgeous words here.
