~*~ Love Me Or Let Me Free ~*~



I swing in the garden’s gentle breeze,
In the light of a full moon.
Under a tiara of stars,
I am the purest of truth and body.
A kindred spirit needing
To be awakened to love.
~*~ Come closer ~*~
Take my hand, hold it.
With it,
I give myself to you.
~*~ Be gentle ~*~
I offer you my heart.
Will your heart swing with me?
A metronome of love awaits us.
I want to give myself to you.
Look carefully into my soul,
For a heart of truth and,
loves lies there.
Gently take me,
Explore, feel, smell,
Taste my essence.
Enter my body and,
Explore me, experience me,
Let me explore you.
I have nothing to hide.
No hidden secrets, no shame.
Know me, love me,
But only if you can,
Promise me this,
~*~ Love me ~*~,
For who and what I am.
If not,
~*~ set me free ~*~

"Under a tiara of stars
I am the purest of truth and body
a kindred spirit needing
to be awakened to love

Will your heart swing with me?
A metronome of love awaits us

Love me
for who and what I am
if not
set me free"
==========================

Beautiful, wonderful imagery and phrasing!! Most women desire this, and should accept no less!

Take care,
Melissa~

beautiful imagery laced emotions Mysteria ..

passionate expressions here...well done.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

Amen! Enjoyed the message and way of this. If I wasn't so tired of whining...I might have said more. Not really...that is just so funny.

Mysteria, I knew from the beginning you were a swinger!

This poem really says it all. I think that's what all of us really want...just to be loved for what and who we are. You express that in a beautiful way.....

Melissa ~*~ I agree, but it works both ways, anyone who actually believes they can change someone is dreaming! Thank you.

Sunshine ~*~ You are too kind and sure know how to "poof me fedders" however, I am just getting the hang of this writing business, so I thank you.

Janet Marie ~*~ I have equal passions for art and the written words, so I like combining them, and I thank you for your kind acceptance.

JLR ~*~ Now you are the funny one, and I detect some tongue in cheek there, buy a blank sign, and put on it "No whining allowed", let me know how you do -

Balladeer ~*~ So nice to see you read something I did, and like too - what a bonus! Yep ~ I am afraid I am a swinger, and by the way I forced the first line to make it all tie together, naughty.

Kit: Thank you - actually I stare at a work of art, and try to figure out what the character or item is thinking and go from there, but I do thank you for the compliment, but it is the art that makes me look decent! Thanks for reading.
