let me down easy
lay battered limbs
down softly
upon a feather bed,
a deep plush nest
tucked in warmth
swaying in forgiveness’s arms
thermometer of my heart
beat down the walls
to be rebuilt,
break apart
the pieces
that need be forgotten
and let me down easy,
lay mingled limbs
down softly
to start anew
Beautiful. I like to think of our sectional sofa as my nest. I snuggle into the corner for hours.
ReplyDeletemaybe this is just a poem, not a true request. :)
ReplyDeleteSings: "break it to me gently....give me time, oh a little time to ease the pain...."
ReplyDeleteThese lines reminds of the song ..
ReplyDelete♫ The smile on your face .. Lets me know .. That you need me .. There's a truth .. In your eyes .. Saying you'll never leave me .. The touch of your hand says .. You'll catch me whenever I fall .. You say it best ..... When you say nothing at all !! ♫
Take care !
Sourav .. in love with me and life!! :)
How romantically said.
