Just Hold Me- a Collaboration With Shane C

She: 
Just hold me here close to your heart 
Let me stay tranquil a while 
This world has wrested my joy away 
And has robbed me again of my smile

He:
I will hold you forever, part of my soul 
To linger with me until time’s end 
I will bring the joy back to your life 
Your beautiful smile will transcend 

She: 
Just keep me here secure in your arms 
Blissful and unaware of the strife 
There are those around who wish me harm 
Be Protector of my heart and life

He:
Forever I keep you safe in my arms 
Within my soul you shall dwell 
A refuge from the pain of the world 
My love shield, your fear will dispel 


She: 
Calm and soothe me, please, cherish me
And in this haven, let me rest
There is sweetness that here abides
When I am pressed close to your chest

He:
In silent embrace our hearts are one 
Find in me comfort and surcease of soul 
My love shall buoy you through every storm 
As our love the Angels extol

Written by Shane Cooper and Eileen Manassian

I've been busy with my Dad and Step-mom. They were here for two weeks, and they just left today. It's more than that too. I haven't had the heart to write. On a bit of a low....I become reclusive. I'm in that state right now. I'll se how long it lasts. I will have to ride it out. Thanks for visiting me. Hugs

Shane Cooper Date: 3/11/2015 11:53:00 PM My dearest Enchantress, thank you for permitting me to write with you. It was as a truely wonderful experiance, I fell into your words of need and lost myself in the work. It felt so real as I wrote. Your words are your enchantment of love and need Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/13/2015 9:08:00 PM The pleasure was all mine. It was a good experience. You are a great write, Shane.

I've been on a downer....I did read your latest, though. The Freak one. Cute! I sometimes become a watcher and just read....when I'm able...I comment. Don't give up on me. Hugs

Kp Nunez Date: 3/11/2015 12:04:00 PM Hi Eileen, feels like a tango ( a dance I don't claim to know how to). Though the steps are complicated, the dancers already anticipate the others' move and so the overall result is like one fluid transition to the next. Beautiful 7. Been doing less comments lately, it's tax season, so has been quite busy...Hugs :) Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/13/2015 9:10:00 PM Your reason is the taxes....mine is family, work, and depression...we do what we can, my dear. I appreciate the visit. I'm remiss...forgive me. Will try to get to you when I'm out of this present condition. hugs

Emile Pinet Date: 3/11/2015 9:40:00 AM One mind, one heart, one love, feelings that float within our conscious minds and land gently within our hearts. Emile. #7 Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/13/2015 9:12:00 PM I enjoyed this write with Shane, Emile. He is a kind hearted man and very supportive. I love to write about romance, so most of my collabs are on that theme. That's the beat of my heart. Sorry I'm late in responding. I haven't been emotionally well and have had a lot of things to attend to at home and work. I appreciate your visits. You know I love your work. Blessings.

David Meade Date: 3/10/2015 2:10:00 PM An outstanding write between two passionate people - many we never discount the comfort of an embrace. 7 Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/13/2015 9:18:00 PM Yes, David...I am the one who loves a good hug. My family knows this. How have you been? You've been quiet of late. I've been going through some depression but am slowly working my way out of it again. Sorry I'm late with the reply. Hope you are well.

Njeri Hunjeri Date: 3/9/2015 11:51:00 PM Beautiful and sensual. Well penned. Deserves a seven! Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 3/9/2015 11:59:00 PM Thank you, Njeri. I wanted to portray the safety that a woman feels in a man's arms. I sent Shane some stanzas and he wrote to those stanzas and then we did a she/he response. I think it worked well, so than you for the seven. I'm sure Shane will be delighted. Hugs
