Premium Member Gently Now, Gently
Thinking of you in crimson dawn rising
Voice of fervid night keeps calling me
Naming the lady of my fabulous dreams
Meet me I say, gleaming amber glory
Start right there, where you left me
Whispering to beats of sensuous feelings

Listen to words waltzing verses of lyrics
Pulsing cadence of your...

Love Gently Rocked
We sit, relaxed, at closing of the day,
you turn, a record on to softly play,
then place, fresh logs making our fire enhance,
and gently bow asking me for this dance.

The song, we’ve loved since we were very young,
so often danced with, and so often sung.
You sing,...

Premium Member Come Gently
Come gently like a winding trellis
stroking my shape as you fondle
 my vulnerability, and tease,
 tease curves of my spine with whispers
to unleash what is half-awake in my eyes,
draping my flesh with the scent 
of this moistened night…
And I am lost among fibrous roots
clinging to...

Premium Member Come Let Me Rock You Gently
Come let me rock you gently
and as we softly sway
I'll share with you a story
and rock your cares away.

In the years that I have known
there has been much I've seen
the big "to do's" the nothing days
and all those in between.

To all I've offered comfort
and a...

Tears Fall Gently
Tears fall gently


Tears fall gently, like the rain
quietly refreshing my soul
relinquishing all of my pain

Tears fall gently, like the dew
rejuvenating my spirit
with lingering memories of you

Tears fall gently, like a watery mist
releasing all of hearts sorrow
your blessed presence will be missed

Tears fall gently, without any...

Premium Member Upside Down Teardrops Falling Gently
Upside Down Teardrops Falling Gently

Upside down teardrops falling gently onto a magical mirror
as crystal chandeliers of soft light filters through reflecting
a treasure of pearls that speak to a thousand bounties paid,
whilst a sanding of polished memories stone cut a diamond,
at once, that’s truly regal once...

Gently Now, Gently
I found you crying in a doorway, all alone, 
whimpering while singing your doll a song.
You're so young, child, to be on your own, 
and yet, I can tell, you're brave and strong.

I whispered softly to her, You're safe with me.
I will not leave your...

Premium Member - Moisture Gently Kissing Your Glowing Sunlight -
When you have a beautiful beaming dream enter 
the mouth smiles as together we drift away
As a moon face gets brighter accepting new beginnings 

Flowers sway in your breathless air synchronized 
by the spring music warmly breathing out sighs 
Softly sunshine lifts our spirits free...

Premium Member Gently On the Shoulder
I know some may
prefer the way
  of folks direct, up front

Some love panache
forthright and brash,
  outspoken as you want

Some may prefer 
the crash and blur   
  of histrionics bolder 

But as for me 
I'd rather be

Premium Member The Day You Gently Let Me Go
You knew our love would end in pain
Its sun kissed glow dissolve in rain
Delight would turn into disdain

And so, you gently let me go

You saw the future and you knew
They’d try to tear our hearts in two
what else was there for you to do?

You thought...

Moonbeams Gently Cascade
~Moonbeams Gently Cascade~

Watching as the daylight begins 
to melt into twilight 
Listening for the soft lullaby 
the stars would incite
Cradling me in their warm 
brilliant effervescent glow
To rock me gently, to their 
mesmerizing melody so slow
When these vibrating heavenly 
bodies, lull me to sleep
Star dust...

Premium Member Gently Lay Me Down
Now gently, oh so gently, lay me down
caress me into blessed tranquil bliss
with tenderness undress me from this gown
then bend to touch my lips with ardent kiss

I cannot bear to stay here long and so
my craving to be free, you need to tend
most gladly will...

Ever So Gently
Like snowflakes on my eyelashes

Like the gentle wind that blows

Like the rustle of leaves on trees

and birds chirping  in  the eaves

You come each day and touch my soul

With fingers warm and light 

And kiss my cheek a breath of jasmine

that make my senses...

Premium Member Lay Me Gently Down
Lay me gently down on a cold wint’ry day,
While the fireplace sparkles and blue flames rise
A day when the sun shines not to brighten, nay
Snow cloud blankets denying warmth to the eyes.

So you know, death comes to me as no surprise
For too long have I...
