Come-Hither, Take This Love I Give

Hold me love in a close embrace,
Paint us in this visual space,
Where orchids thrive beneath teal skies,
And time has never known good-byes.

Comfort me, as I lie sleeping,
Lull the fears that I am weeping,
Murmur sweet nothings in my ear,
And gild the darkness less severe.

O’ sing for me a song of hope,
Seduce me down the gentle slope,
Pilfer my breath with but a kiss,
Tell me naught is as dear as this.

Love me wholly within your eyes,
Sweep your laughter across the skies,
Take away the uncertain course—
—The path that leads one to remorse.

Come-hither, take this love I give,
And loneliness we shall outlive.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

What a beautiful plea from the heart - it made mine ache reading it -

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I'm a little in awe of those who're able to rhyme their verses and still convey such messages! You're good at this! I'm impressed....*smile*

Lilting, comforting, loving, hopeful, inspiring, sensitive, giving ~ all reflections of the man who can write of these things ~ and so beautifully.

You are love personified and may your life be filled with this kind of love you so richly deserve.

Warm hugs and a smile,
EA
