Hold Me

Tonight, hold me in your arms Assure me MY love is best Tell me I'm beautiful, fair You've forgotten all the rest Hold me…my love…hold me Look deeply into my eyes Tell me what I long to hear Even if they are sweet lies Hold me....my man…Hold me I'm dying for your strong arms I want to be cradled there Feeling safe from earthly harms I want to feel I’m secure My sanity is restored I want to hold on to you Nestled in heaven, adored Hold me...my life…hold me I am growing faint and weak I am in need of comfort Words of love to my heart speak Hold me...my sweet….hold me This heart is about to break I need you to rescue me Hold me close, for heaven's sake In this your gentle holding If tenderness turns to need Then consume me at your will On my love for you now feed Satisfied, let ME hold you Till you drift off into sleep Knowing you are sheltered In this woman’s love, so deep Eileen Manassian Ghali

Heartfelt, passionate, you just keep getting better my little Desert Orchid. Wonderful flow to this, I don't know where you keep finding them from. Take care, Richard

There is nothing like being held in the arms of a loving woman. I feel the passion and hunger in this one.

By nature we love to nurture and care for those we love. We are care givers...and if a man treats us right, we will adore him. Yes, there was much passion and hunger in this one. Thank you, Richard.

Goosebumps EVERYWHERE! Yes! This is how I would picture a plate of Manicotti would speak to me if it had a voice. I'm weird, yes. I'm proud of it.

HA HA HA HA! Drake....You are like Joey on friends. Someone asked which of the two he would give up if he had to...sex or food....after much deliberation...."sex...no no food...no sex..food..sex...food"... he said, "I want women on bread." I know it sounds weird, but it was hilarious!!! I think you might have the same sort of thinking...Manicotti or? Celebrate who you are, my dear. You're pretty awesome!
