Notes About The Poem

 

 

Soften Your Heart To Me

Soften your heart to me
For I long for your embrace
Turn that lock with lover’s key
Once more, let me see your face

Soften your heart to me
Hear me whisper in your ear
Reminders of "used to be"
When your heart to mine was near

Soften your heart to me
Break down these walls of pride
With your heart, my sorrow see
Let me lie down by your side

Soften your heart to me
Let these eyes forget to weep
Banish doubt; let all else flee
Give life to what's buried deep

Soften your heart to me
For I ache to taste your kiss
Let your lips with mine agree
And carry my soul to bliss

Soften your heart to me
For my days will not be long
The end of life I foresee
Let your heart to mine belong

Soften your heart to me
Please, love me like days gone by
Listen to my heart’s decree
Make love to me; make me sigh

Soften your heart to me
For soft is my heart and true
Take heed to my ardent plea
I'll soften the world for you

Demetrios Trifiatis December 27, 2014 at 9:54 AM Yes, the heart is the softest place on earth when imbued by love but if it is not then the hardest place it can become thus we have to plea for it to soften. Your plea is certainly captivating and inspiring thus a positive outcome is assured for you my dear, Eileen! Excellent!

John Fleming December 25, 2014 at 12:08 PM A really appealing piece of poetry, Eileen. Quite charming!! :-) john. Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:12 AM Thanks, John. Charming is a lovely adjective. I will be around to visit you soon.

Richard Lamoureux December 25, 2014 at 8:17 AM A Christmas Hug for you! Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:12 AM WELL RECEIVED, DEAR RICHARD.

Paul Callus December 24, 2014 at 2:30 PM The pictures and the poem go very well together; very supportive of each other. This is soft, warm romanticism; an ardent plea, yes, but with a tender touch to it that is as effective as the other writes in which you come out in total fiery passion. I am sure you wrote this with a calm and dreamy look on your face! These words will soften any heart...take my word for it:) hugs // paul ......once again Merry Christmas! Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:15 AM Ah.....my dear Paul. Thank you for your words of affirmation. I have lots hope of reconciliation. My words were unable to bring about what was needed to heal my heart. I guess some hearts are beyond softening....or maybe....I have lost my charm....or maybe...I never had any to begin with. Hope you had a lovely Christmas, my dear.

David Meade December 24, 2014 at 10:11 AM Your words melted my heart little one! I love the way you think, write, and paint with your words. . . they taste sweet with just a hint of spiciness! Merry Christmas, 7 Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:17 AM Why thank you, David. I'm glad your heart melted. :) That makes me feel good. I need to feel good. I've been super busy with family visiting and haven't had much time to myself. It's been lovely, but I need to unwind. Today...I skipped church. I'm sure my daddy is disappointed in me. He is a pastor, you know....Oh well. I was just too tired to get out of bed. Will get back to you as soon as I can. Hugs

J. R. Corbin December 24, 2014 at 9:39 AM Hi Eileen, this strikes me as a beautiful lyric. I can nearly hear the song. Have a blessed Christmas holiday! Jim Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:18 AM Thanks, Jim. It's good to see you back. You've been MIA for a bit there. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Blessings.

Richard Lamoureux December 24, 2014 at 8:36 AM Beautiful, this is the season that softens hearts. May your request be granted and both your hearts be filled with Joy! Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:19 AM That's what I thought so too. Christmas ought to do it! Oh well....Hope all is well for you, my dear. Love having your visits. You are a wonderful constant in my life, Richard. You don't know how grateful I am for your friendship. It is a wonderful blessing.

Richard Lamoureux December 24, 2014 at 8:33 AM Hello Eileen, dropping by with a big Christmas Hug. Now I will read your poem. Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:20 AM Your hug is a lovely Christmas present. Your visit and words....the icing on my cake. hugs

Demetrios Trifiatis December 24, 2014 at 8:28 AM May his heart soften to the degree your heart desires so happiness and love become permanent residents of your heart and soul! I think with such verse positive the response will be! Romantically tender, dear Eileen! Merry Christmas! Eileen Manassian December 27, 2014 at 3:22 AM Thank you, my dear poet. I've been so busy...My father and step-mother are visiting from Cyprus. It's been one thing after the other. Forgive me, please for not personally wishing you a wonderful Christmas, for you are very dear to my heart. I wish you every blessing in the new year. Filakia kai agape apo mena gia sena....
