You kissed me on my knees
Yet stood above me
And like love
My love was above me
You sheltered me that night
Your hair was wet with rain
Your eyes were dark and piercing
I will never love again
Your tongue was harsh and demanding
The lights shone through the vest
You placed over my head
I knew I was second best
The cold you broke within me
The frost in the evening night
I have met many women
But never the warmth of fright
You are so a women
That passes fear into a man
Because the man fears
He fails and that he knows
But with tenderness he can
Endear you to his soul
And give you your sweet love
And in those eyes together
There is no heaven above
A strong women loves
And unfortunately it's true
Too strong a love, but right
Is not for both of you
But in a lighted corner
Two people miles away
Look into each other
And never their minds do stray

Yes, man, try a little tenderness ...
You touch the delicate aspect of men being frightened by women ... there is some work of re-balancing to do!

Great write.

Love, Margherita

A very interesting write, Dave. Not at all raunchy in my opinion. It's a POV of love not often written about, but surely exists 'round the world. Love is often packaged in fear.

Yes I need to rewrite.

The greate thing for me is that I want do do it.

Writing here has focussed me to such a degree that stuff I had written off is coming alive for me to understand myself.

regards

Dave
