A Woman's Love

A woman’s love is soft
Rounded…smooth
Soft like her body
A blanket of gentleness
Her softness covers
The edges of a man’s soul
Making him feel warm
Whole
Nurtured
Fed
A soft pillow for his head
Her breasts
Soft
So so s o f t…
Her arms
Dreamy clouds of comfort
Around his shoulders
His angular frame
Covered
His roughness softened
Gentle, soothing
The love of a woman
Reducing him
To the child in the man
In need of love....
The knowledge that she’s there
An added softness to his rugged world
Of madness

A woman’s love
Is a soft embedding
Of his hard strength
Lost in the warm depths
Of her soft
Soft
Love
A woman’s love...

A man’s soft salvation

Eileen Manassian Ghali

Inspired by the poem by Richard D Steal (WOMAN)

A woman's love unraveling the stress of a man's battle, inviting the hunger of the beast in him, encouraging the dream of his heat to surge within her, blessing the innocence of his wonder...she is soft yet in control of his desperate heart...you are the jewel of a man's desire Eileen...Justin

What loveliest than a woman's love? NOTHING! It is the water in the desert, the warmth in the middle of a winter's storm, a boat on a stormy sea and most of all it is paradise on earth! You have penned it with such a skill and affection that thought to find myself in the arms of caring heart! Thank you!
