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 Thank you, Shane, for asking me to collaborate with you. I enjoyed it every much. I appreciate your support...Bless you, my dear.

Hello, my dear. 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

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

The pleasure was all mine. It was a good experience. You are a great write, Shane. Thanks for asking me to work with you. :) Sorry I didn't answer your post here sooner. As you know...I haven't been well. Thanks for the post.

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 :)

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

One mind, one heart, one love, feelings that float within our conscious minds and land gently within our hearts. Emile. #7

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.

An outstanding write between two passionate people - many we never discount the comfort of an embrace. 7

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.

Beautiful and sensual. Well penned. Deserves a seven!

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
