In your lap

The safety of love. No better place to be.

                           In your lap

If I lost you.

I would become empty and alone.

When I’m lost and helpless.

I need your kind words and your embrace.

When I fall into the warmth of your lap and

I feel the gentleness of concern hands and words.

I know I will be okay. I love you my dear love.

A beautiful way to portray how each of us feel so protected, cocooned when we are in love. A picture does speak a thousand words, put beautiful poetry speaks even more. :)
Good one John

I did like the photo. Allowed me to feel the emotion. Best days when we can show weakness and sadness without fear. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.

A picture and a poem created, is something new I have come across. Thank you for this innovation (if I could say this way) and for your writing! Beautiful captivating words. :)

Thank you Madhu. I was taught this set-up by a talented writer 12 years ago. I believe artwork can enhance the words. Some photos are poetry for the eyes.

[Madhu]

Yeah, it's pretty amazing! :)

A medieval scenery to match maybe an unrequited love by the picture. If I'm wrong I still loved this piece of yearning and and the magic.

Just a Tumblr photo. Had the feel of a more classic day. Thank you Andrew for reading and the comment.

When one finds true love, it's like two people merging into one. And a face on a lap in an embrace feels just right for once. Full of love and support, tenderness and passion. That was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful picture and love.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Nadia. Love make two people not afraid to be weak.

[Nadia Gerassimenko]

And what is weakness is actually strength. The strongest open their hearts and love. The weakest keep themselves guarded and closed to human touch.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. I have been reading your poetry book. It is very good dear Poet.
