Lie Down With Me

Come along with me, lover Settle down Find out where your heart belongs. I'll give you a hint: It's most comfortable buried Deep inside of mine It's all the things added up Take a picture, save it love Bury me inside your head Don't be in love, go mad instead Things you said to me that night Still ringing in my ear The second they left your mouth Forever hanging in the air Breath them, take a bite Made me glow all night Our breaths interwined As we said goodbye for now Silently, not out loud Grab my hand, let me guide you through the dark Arms stretched out You're looking slightly helpless now The spaces between your fingers are Emblazoned on my chest And maybe that's the reason you Know me better than the rest. Come lay down with me, lover We can dream away our sorrows Hidden in your arms I'll be We can face the world tomorrow You don't need a blanket, I'll be your cover Our tongues colliding As we're wrapped up in each other The space between us is becoming nonexistent You're taking me away from home But I don't think I will miss it The dictionary would define your eyes as simply destructive And the energy surrounding us is becoming reproductive I don't want to miss your face twenty years from now So kiss me hard and lie down, lie down

Olivia Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
