If You Say You Love Me

Hypothetically sentimental

Breathe me into you
Hold me in, as long as you can
Release me with love

Think of me as a wave
as lost as you, in the sea
Struggling for a shore

Keep me as a thorn
Concealed in your heart
Claiming a bit of its flesh

Don’t ever forget me
Lock me in a small iron case
But bring me out sometimes

Don’t cry much in the dark
Your sobs do have a way
of shaking me in my tomb

Author's Note

Sorry this is half-baked. Too many glitches in my brain.

Many a man will tell a woman what she wants to hear just to loosen her knickers elastic....been there , done it, I'm ashamed to say.
All of us wanna be loved, I'm lucky being now extremely happily married 25 years, but for many they end up accepting second best as that is better than nowt.
Good morning Miss.

GoodMorning Mr. Gee, 😺
I don’t really feel you should be ashamed of sowing some wild oats (so to say) before planting a golden meadow. Those who have erred are those who have truly learnt to love. (My feelings) I compliment you on such a long and fruitful. I also shed a tear for those who have as much love in their hearts but do not know how to show it. Have a nice day!

wow! hypothetically?? i think not Ditzy Kat :) beautifully sentimental if you ask me ..love the breathing in ... intimate moments of having that desire are so real with the right person ... i like that you are keeping it real as well ... the struggle to find an anchor in a wild sea and the thorn in ones heart (very good emotive imagery says i! ... i think this is such a unique take on love ... don't miss me too much ..i just might show up at your door ...once the magic is ended it isn't many times we can go back a recapture it ... nice job Dhara ... thanks for sharing

Good Morning Dear E,
When I was compelled to scribble this piece today Morning, I really didn’t know where it was headed, with me in a strange, nutty kind of mood. It does make more sense now after reading your words. Love has a blissful AND a sorrowful side to it and today’s joy may perhaps be tomorrow’s grief. (Preparing myself always) Many heartfelt thank yous from me to you!

thank you! this is a kept it real love poem ..refreshing and complete picture ...i am convinced that when we hurt or are hurt by love falling ...it puts us in the wise place to accept and build on it when it does grace our lives for real ... a pleasure to read and tho emotive this one also stimulates the intellect ..something we leave out too often ;))))))))))

It’s never ceases to amaze me how much more can be conveyed in simpler, les elaborate words and format. Just saying simply what’s on the mind. And I’m sure glad you appreciated this, dear E.

Taking you in whole, always having a piece of you. Having someone constantly think about you, have two souls intertwined as one. This is beautiful even if it is hypothetical haha.

Much Love

Thank you thank you very much Zayir! I marvel at how much a Morning mood dictates a piece of writing. I hope you are having a nice day!

[Zayir]

Oh my dear friend. I think you forget I live in the states. It's 11pm here. I'm just finishing up on my work haha. But I hope you continue to have a phenomenal day

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I wish you a nice evening then! While I run through my day. Thank you Zayir! ☺️

I shows you have a romantic glitch in that head of yours... but I can be sentimental too and I enjoyed this little indulgence in pretty feelings... Save it for Valentine's Day :-)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Haha. Indeed Jibey. I cringe at myself sometimes. Nice idea! I’ll trade this poem for an extra Valentine bear 🐻. Thanks & Have a nice day you!
