Lay Me Down My Love


Lay me down my love and summon me
Touch me with your essence
Hold me and fulfill me
Fill my spaces with silence
Fall into me

Tumble me down my love and fill me
Enchanter of my sighs
Stroke me and soften me
Call forth my soaring highs
Move into me

Take me down my love enlighten me
Play the music of my heart
Bathe and delight me
Conduct the sighs apart
Fly into me


Marsha



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

this poem sent my head spining.  The words say to me that you give all of you to your mate. What a wonderful poem. I loved it.
Love and light,
Richard

If I did I'd die in bliss with multible strokes or at least need a heart implant

Oh Oh here comes my wife ... hide this!!

I love the flow of this, soft and enchanting...very beautiful...nicely written.

Richard love, I do love I do, I am never half hearted love not in anything. Thank you love,  
Take care kid
                  Mushy
                    
Rex, I don't want you keeling over love, maybe I'd better have the resus team on alert? Thank you love
Take care
                Mushy
                  
Wynter love, thank you, a change for me, I know, the style isn't something I've tried much. (But I'm doing the less is more lessons at the moment)
Take care
              Mushy
                  
Poeminister, thank you very muchly love, I do appreciate it
Take care
                 Mushy
                    
Sven love, so you like? thank you muchly, see what the sisterhood have been teaching me. (It's alright we don't gather and incant spells or anything) But the idea is to reflect the heat, not coat it in too many words. And Kari's right it works far better, although I still have to restrain myself to add embellishment.
Thanks again kid
Take care love
               Mushy
                  
Margie girl, thank you love, that is the nicest thing, I really pleased. And as I say I found it easier than I expected
Take care love
                 Mushy
