Bathe Me in Moonlight

bathe me in moonlight

 

 

 

i need a man
when the world is cold,
to stand beside me
when the years are no longer

my friend

an amorous man

a guise of grey of a man,
to stroke my hair

my shoulders, bare

to bathe me in moonlight
with kisses that trace
the nape of

my neck,

the curvature of

my spine

 

to love me forever…
to leave me never…

Brilliantly written love poem, Kelly. An abiding love...one that lasts through trauma and wrinkles. One that will always be there and always give comfort as the years go on. How beautiful the emotion in this one is. This is what we all long for in life. Lydi**

To have and to hold till death do us part...and then some. It really is what keeps us together. Thank you so much, Lydi!

So beautiful words Kelly...
As tender as the moon light...
Don't we all want that...to have someone to hold on....even when the world turns upside down..

Smiling.. such desire dripping in those words, dear you.. Troubke is, all the bestest ones are taken or are naughty naughty boys who play silly games!! I'll take a good book - but, only for now.

Your words are more than special.. smooth as best honey and laid just so..

I believe it was Hemingway who wrote, "there is no friend as loyal as a book." Hang in there, Em. I'm certain he'll find you! x ...thanks darlin!

If love is true it will remain forever- never changing always new and truthful for two- beautiful words🌹

[Kelly Scheppers]

True love for some is but a dream. Never to be awakened. Thank you for the tenderness of your words today!

[‘Thoughts In Time’🌹]

My pleasure and I would hope one was never to stop dreaming as then I had no chance to awaken- my pleasure- be blessed🌹

that is what we all need...the person who will stand by us and love us even as we lose our youth...when sheen wears off of the physical...will the emotional side still let us love the other...and feel the same passion...
we can only hope to find that mate.

So many live a lifetime of dreaming of someone, and never find them. This is for the dreamers. Thank you, J.
