It Began Softly

Softly call me softly to you
Feel the fire flowing through
Touch the flame
Fly again
Beat your wings
Hope springs
It began softly
It ends hotly

Softly summon me to you
Wrap my fire around you
Hold the fire
Free desire
Bathe in heat
Pulses beat
It began softly
It ends hotly

Marsha




Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Helen love, I'm really pleased you like this, not really anything except me playing again, but I am glad you liked it.
Take care love

Lovebug, thank you love, I do appreciate it but it truly isn't anything very much. I was working on another story and needed a short break. And so I wrote this, took no time at all, so obviously no effort involved. Which normally translates to no real worth either.
Anyway thank you truly
Take care love

If Marsha be the song of love
and playing is what she'll do
Then I thank the heavens above
she chose to play with me and you.
Play on Marsha

AD dear heart, thank you now all I need is someone willing to play with me   You know that I rarely put effort into things and this was literally just because I needed a break from the story. (But maybe it will be worth it when I finally finish it) In the meantime this took my mind off it for a few hours. Thank you muchly love
Take care love as always

Take care

Circe love, Saucy, c'est moi, surely not!  
(Look of innocence, damm I can never pull that off) I knew you'd like it, I thought it would encourage you to keep warm   With your husband of course.
Thank you love
Take care love

Paula dear heart, you're such a darling and such a fibber. But I love you for it anyway, thank you muchly for being you
Take care love as always
                Mushy
                    
Kethry dear heart, you're definitely biased love, because you see good in it all. And as long as my friends are wrapped around my heart I shall always have more of a gift than I deserve Thank you love
Take care love as always

Poeminister love, thank you muchly, in which case love you will like the latest flames. I'm pleased you like this one.
It is as I said more stretching and I must admit I do enjoy seeing my mentors finally seeing some return on their work. Believe me it's been a very slow learning curve.
Thank you
Take care as always love

Just the way it is supposed to be.  Very nice writing and well expressed in the thoughts and images it brings forth.
