Soothe Words

 

Soothe my soul love

I am restless

I am helpless

I float free in these waves

And they

Overtake me

Soothe my soul love

Find a place

In that place

That is your heart

For what is left of me

Quiet the noise

Inside

Of the place

That was my heart

Long now

Have the echos

Hurt the walls of me

I am falling

Please

Catch

Me

Soothe my skin

Free me of this fever

That burns

The words

At my lips

Hear me love 

Near me love

So that I can chase

The cure of you

So I can taste

The lure of you

Soothe the yearning

Sate the thirst

I fight inside me 

it's right inside these

words 

the nerves

set on edge 

waiting wanting wishing

not for hot hard hands

but for the promise

in their magic

for what they say 

with their language

of solid steady steel 

of knowing 

just enough 

of love 

to make it feel

like silk 

slowly sliding over 

hungry flesh 

soaking the desert of my heart

leaving the essence wet

damp dark flushed 

soothe love

please promise me the evenings 

only if they are followed

by the sun

I want it all love

soothe my selfish want 

or I want none

please forgive me 

my empty heart

has waited 

patient 

behind

these hollow bones

these bones 

long weighted 

sinking under 

the breaking stones

that life has offered

make me softer 

make me often 

into puddles 

at your being 

make me lean 

muscles stretched along 

your strength 

make me home 

the place you know 

with eyes closed

the place you've never left

soothe my soul love

make me forget

that there was 

ever 

never you 

and me 

and our best 

soothe me, move me, 

gently wake me 

cause I have had enough of 

emptiness
