John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Wrapped In Your Words

I hear your tender words of love 
      that echo in the winds, 
   and float on wings of turtle dove
         as loneliness rescinds.

Your words so gently hold my heart
      wrapped in a warm embrace,
   and visions that your thoughts impart
         will make my heartbeat race.

But words are tempting heart’s desire;
      my passions growing strong;
   please share with me, as needs require,
         the love for which I long.

Please hold me like you mean it now,
      for words do not have arms;
   please show the things words don’t allow,
         and share with me your charms.

Brandy Nicole November 29, 2021 at 9:29 AM Lately, words seem to wrap around my heart in such a wonderful way. I am feeling your thoughts so deeply, as I caress so many tender moments I wanted to read this again my dear friend. "Please hold me like you mean it" Oh my ! Of course. I would like to add: "And never let go". Being wrapped in words is breathtaking indeed. :) Hugs, Brandy John Gondolf November 29, 2021 at 10:19 AM I am glad my thoughts create such tender moments for you. I like your addition to my poem. Warm hugs, John

Brandy Nicole December 17, 2019 at 10:22 AM Perhaps you are right "words do not have arms" However, each word is deeply felt. Wrapping tightly around the being, sweeping gently across the heart. This I know to be true. Your thoughts are beautiful, romantic and tender. They hold me. I shall place this in my favorites. :) Brandy John Gondolf December 17, 2019 at 11:44 AM True, it is important to know that someone cares enough to whisper the sweet nothings to you. J Brandy Nicole December 17, 2019 at 11:26 AM Knowing that someone cares enough to write them. It helps the longing that lingers in the heart, that sweet ache. Even if just a little bit. ~ Brandy John Gondolf December 17, 2019 at 10:44 AM Thank you for the fav, B, and as always I appreciate hearing your thoughts. It is true that the words will be felt so deeply as they wrap tenderly around the heart yet at the same time they will never ease that sweet ache that one feels, that longing. I am pleased that my thoughts hold you so tenderly. Hugs, John

Lin Lane December 17, 2019 at 6:51 AM Such longing should never be denied. "Please hold me like you mean it now, for words do not have arms;" That is so expressive, John, and mere words are never enough without the physical touch. John Gondolf December 17, 2019 at 9:34 AM Thank you, Lin, I appreciate your thoughts and comments. This is so true, mere words are never enough. John
