Gentle

.

I’m on fire

Filled with desire

Only you can appease

So please…

Be gentle with my heart

It’s been broken in the past

Whisper…

Sweet nothings in my ear

Only you and i can hear

And touch me

Tenderly

About adeeyoyo

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    Damn and they just get better the more I read… did you teach yourself to do this or does it just come naturally .. a thought process that flows..???

      Some of each, I think, BD. I started blogging just plain writing to get rid of my frustrations. Then I read the poetry of one of the other bloggers and it was soooo beautiful that I decided to see if I could do it too. Of course mine wasn’t a patch on hers, but it does sometimes just flow and the poems seem to write themselves. There are times, however, that I struggle mainly for topics and/or how to finish off the poem. The blogger who was my inspiration is no longer publishing poetry but she sometimes leaves a comment on my work.

    Unfortunate that love comes with risk and rejection

    • adeeyoyo says :

      Everything in life comes with risk, Carl. We wouldn’t achieve anything if we didn’t take a chance. I don’t think there’s anythng wrong with careful and calculated risks. One has to ask oneself, ‘Is it worth taking the risk?’
