Speak Softly To Me of Love

When you whisper your sweet words of love to me your voice becomes an impassioned romantic song. The rich tones capture me with their erotic melody, one to make me tremble in your arms all night long. Speak softly to me, my love, as I lay here beside you. Hold me against your heart; let me inhale your breath. I thirst for your kisses, as flowers drink morning dew, Without your love to share, I would welcome death. We have become totally lost in a world of our own making. No more lonely days and nights spent reaching for a hand, and no more grieving for a love, no more sad hearts aching. You love me and I love you so. New love is something grand. We are starry lovers, dancing together throughout the night. Bodies clinging to each other closely, until we become one. We create our darkest shadows when the full moon is bright. Our whispers are songs of love, of a love that's just begun. An emphasis was placed on 'Speak Softly Love' and a minor application of 'And I Love you So.' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ April 19th, 2016

Hi Lin, this is a beautiful romantic poem and the pic. goes without saying, couples these days need to read something like that as I don't think they know what love is, they think after a few years they can just go on to the next one and then the next one, we have a friend who has been married three times, it's like stepping stones, thank you for this delightful read my friend, take care.......Vera

"Speak Softly Love" I am very familiar with! I once sang it at a club and I deeply LOVE that song and this write is that and then some! As I write this that song has taken over my being! NICE!!!

It is one of the most romantic songs. I've been singing and humming it all day. So now I learn you have a singing voice as well as a poetic one. A man of many talents, Walter. Thanks for liking this rendition, although I'll not be singing it ;)
