In Tenderness of Night- a Repost

In tenderness of night Restore my faith in ME Caress in gentle ways That make my heartaches flee In tenderness of night Clothe my name in your need Touch me in every place That fantasy will feed In tenderness of night Mend all my broken dreams With promise drenched kisses That carry sunshine beams In tenderness of night Let traveling hands stake claim Dancing minstrels of love That banish all my shame In tenderness of night Breathe over me your love As I lay helpless, bare Passion’s eagle turned to dove In tenderness of night Love out of me despair With words of noble knight Confess my beauty fair In tenderness of night On body free your soul Mating of mysteries Fragmented lives made whole In tenderness of night Let time be ever still Neath eyes of silver moon Your essence in me fill Naught else but you and I In tenderness of night Yet what transpires now Brings forth dawn’s glorious light Eileen Manassian Due to some comments on my latest poem, I deleted it and reposted one of my older writes. I hope you enjoyed this piece.

You have stirred the pot and added some jalenpino peppers to the soup. I am enjoying the comments.

In tenderness of night know this, that you are the only heaven in my sight, your beauty the rarest romance of the night, in you the glory of passion pumps with mysterious might Eileen. " Mating of mysteries " is luscious illumination of love.. you're an Angel of delight in the night...Justin

I must have missed it but this one is lovely. Something very sexy about a women being submissive. Mind you also appreciate aggressive depending on my mood.

:) Yes, Richard....for men to be men, woman need to know when to submit....when to make them feel in control, strong and virile. But also....like women...sometimes a man needs to be taken by storm.......and pushed to the limit of endurance. It's a game....love is....a give and take that celebrates oneness and love. Thanks for the post.

It was a silly one...I was ranting about poets and their hidden loves which only are revealed in their writes....Something of that nature...bearing in mind...I'm a poet too. So....who am I to speak? Thanks for reading and posting, my dear.

I love your tender side as much as your wilder side sweet Eileen.I am just a dove ,but you are both the eagle and the dove ,for that I am proud of you.This is elegant indeed.

Thank you, Charmaine....You are sweet as you are. XOXO....I love tender too, but sometimes....it's good to be fierce. It depends on the mood...the situation...and so many other things.
