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 Eileen Manassian December 24, 2014

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!

WELL RECEIVED, DEAR RICHARD.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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....
