Poem! Really!?

Okay, don't laugh, but this is my first attempt at writing poetry, so do take it with a pinch of salt and do give me a break. Without further ado, here it is.

Love me Softly

Softly my love, you always stroke my

Hands softly. Your deep eyes, I can sink endlessly

In and lose myself. Singing voices that entraps the Sirens

Of the seven seas. I find myself when I’m near you,

I find a piece of heaven dropped from a lost angel.

Softly my love, you smile softly down on my wounded

Broken soul. A smile that hides within it the joy

Of the six continents and the oceans deep,

Simple joy that the world need in darker times.

Like water your soul soothes my hardened spirit,

Makes it grow and reach the heavens to pray.

Softly my love, I die in your love so softly,

Like the sweetest breeze coming to take my soul away

From my peeling skin. I need your breath to take my heart

And smile to take my frown.

Softly my love, so softly you weep holding me close,

I lie there my soul shattered with every sob. I survive

Everyday for you and only you.  This innocent soul that

If not for fear of blasphemy would rise to rise with the saints.

Softly my love, softly I die fading in your essence,

Dreaming of your sweet smile upon me. Your breath

Eases my soul away into heaven, into oblivion

Waiting to unite with you. No heavenly maidens for me,

Only you and your sweet embrace I need.

Love me more, for your love will always be more

Than this world can fill. Love me softly, my sweet Love.

This Poem is dedicated to this special person that inspired me so deeply.
