Nice Guys
by merlyn on Apr.29, 2005, under Poetry
A bow, a salute,
A kind word.
Courtesy, politeness,
A ready smile,
Always present,
never threatening,
never intrusive.
A friendly presence,
comforting, safe.
And always,
finishing last.
A Simple Request
by merlyn on Apr.27, 2005, under Poetry
Such a simple thing…
your arms enfolding,
a soft embrace.
Surrounding…comforting…
Holding.
A simple request,
for you to create a space,
where I can feel safe,
feel loved.
Sheltered.
A new world,
my own world…
surrounded by yours.
Safe.
Just one night,
where I can sleep,
enfolded, comforted,
Secure.
Memory (echoes of dejá vu)
by merlyn on Apr.19, 2005, under Poetry
A whisper of soft words half-remembered;
The words themselves lost to the mists of time,
Their tone and meaning as clear as now.
A ghostly touch, of arms embracing…
Distant past as warm and comforting as tomorrow.
A memory of soft lips on the back of the neck,
A trick of time making the skin tingle as if they had just left.
