The soft, gentle rain descended with the cleansing Abington needed. It had gone through hell as of late, and as Eleanor lifted her face and palms to the sprinkling drops, she began to cry in earnest, the first time in twenty years.
So much hope, so many dreams shattered. But with the rain, perhaps, a new beginning? It was possible, if only she could get herself moving, believing.

The white lights of the city sky shone upon the snow. They glittered with the gentle softness of a mother’s touch, lighting the way for the children walking home. The night sky embraced the earth silently.

Babies are gentle, as they are young. Not just that, but they also know no better. They know not about the ways of violence and anger and pain. Maybe we should all be as babies are. Naive. Is that the key to happiness and peace? Being gentle?

Gentle is the way to go. I wish that i could write gently instead of just pounding away at the pen and paper. sometimes i imagine myself slamming my fists into the sheet of paper and ink just exploding in large blotches all across my work. It sucks. I would much rather see the ink flow from my fingertips gently onto the page with fluidity and eloquence.
Jared Ellis
gentle fingers flowing softly through her hair, gentle breathing (almost too gentle) filled the air, gentle words being murmured, gently death descends.
Strife
The gentle way he stroked my cheek, down from my eyes, to my chin, and even lower. Down past my chest and finally resting just above my breast. I reached a hand behind him and hung it limp behind his neck. He placed his second hand on the small of my back and pulled me towards him. Our lips touched, and the kiss was rough, not what I was used to.

love is not gentle.
that’s it, that’s all i got.
i’m in the midst of a breakup.

My cat by day is a gentle creature. But when the stars come out she turns into a vicious beast, biting my fingers and scratching any patch of bare skin she can find. All she wants is love. But it hurts.
Katherine
The soft blow of breezes in the flower field;
The shiver that fingertip-touches yield;
Soft cotton on the heat of sun-scorched face,
And the contours of an old, familiar place.

alice watched the rain as it dripped onto the cat asleep softly snoozing the cat gently stirred then vigourous darting away gentle not meant for harm but misconcieved and the cat retreats retreats from some memory of the not too gentle and not the act itself
Cathal
Be gentle! I say that about 100 times a day to my two year old son. What is it with boys? They are so rough! I always hate the excuse “boys will be boys” when I was a kid, but now I realize why they say that.
Ashley
Nothing is gentle anymore.
Gentle gets you walked on.
Gentle is coddling to death.
Gentle is Mr. Rogers plugging King Friday XIII, and not an an “advertising” sense.
Gentle just needs to leave me alone.

It was not a gentle break up. An email? Don’t I deserve more than that? Don’t I mean more than that girl you’re probably having sex with twice a day now? If I could do it again though, I would, but I would have acted sooner. I must not hesitate when an opportunity arises . . .
Anne
I’m usually not gentle when I rig the knee highs and strap-on. I dunno. Maybe that’s not a bad thing. It’s what they want, right? Tomorrow I’ll don the business suit again, argue execs down, make deals, and they’ll never know what I did last night. It’s all about control.
Adrian
loving, caring, softly caressing. the way you hold me, my hands and face. i want that, more than anything. the way the sea charms the sand and how rivers flow. the sound of angels crying, pure and whole.
Jessica
comfort, people like gentle, people like rough, but it is all about comfort. Gentle is also conjuring pictures of children being told to be ‘gentle’ with whatever is fragile, so I would assume gentle is often seen as a word describing younger.
Johnly
The cat was a a large, brown, soft-furred feline with a gentle attitude. Her spots white and brown, with the occasional black to finish.
Karl Tatom
tender, kind, merciful, peaceful, quiet, not the same as weak, to be gentle is to be strong, at rest, loving.
elizabeth
When air passes into my lungs I feel myself melt with the world. I hug life with my lungs and cry with every breath. My love is all that I am.
stuberto
As you touch me
As your hand grazes my cheek
As you rest your head upon my chest
I feel your gentle heartbeat
I feel your hair gently graze my skin
I feel you gently drift into sleep
You stay with me all night, but
You must go in the morning
You may never return
For you do not feel the same
For you have regrets about this
For it cannot be for you and me
But I will not be sad
But I will remember it for what it was
But I will remember how gently we held each other
Nick Matherne
gently,

now;
my heart is merely muscle
and it bruises easily.

gentle winds calm the waters, rush the ground, free the mind, empty everything of meaning- or fill it so full that it’s impossible to breathe, to know, to think, to be anything other than what I am there in that moment, but it’s all a fool’s lie. It always has been. Now isn’t it something to

Your hands against my skin are
loving, gentle
wanting only to bring happiness
But I still feel somehow
shy and unsure
Unsure of what I want,
what I need, why I’m here…
I think I want you to stop…?
No, don’t stop
I am going crazy
I never know what to do these days
Perhaps you will just smother me by accident
and I won’t have to worry about it
morbid butterfly
rock me gentle, sweet baby james. your body so close, your breath sweet on my neck and we’re a tangle of limbs.

be gentle with my heart, it breaks easily, after so much wear and tear, the scars rip quickly. I give you my heart at the drop of a hat, just don’t drop- if you can avoid that. take care of it and love me in return, it would ruin me to see my mending heart burned.
louise
gentle. i’m trying to be gentle, trying to let people in softly and calmly but i can’t. i can’t let them in because i’m not gentle. i’m rough and have sharp edges. i have dark and dreary and anguish and pessimism. everyone else is fluffy and flakey. no smarts. no edges. no dark corners to their mind. no one else is thinking these thoughts, contemplating this sadness. it’s just me. i’m not gentle, everyone else is.

Little yellow flowers sway to and fro in to cool breeze on a lazy Sunday morning. As the clouds roll slowly through the air, I stare into the baby blue sky.

calming sounds fill my head as i sit by the beach the sand between my toes. i love this place. fresh scents and loving sun fills my heart ith pure joy. the beach is my second home and i never wish to leave it. i want to stay here forever and hope that i will someday live in a house on the ocean. i will always bea beach bum. with all my heart.

My mother was a gentle person. Never a harsh word for anyone, and always a lady. My children remember her as a gentlewomen who smelled like roses. Roses to them meant any kind of flower. Grammie smelled like flowers.
susan englert
please. Don’t let this get smelly. I meant that in a figurative sense, not – never mind. You are something to me. I would like you to agree that I am the same for you before we do this. Before we – you don’t? Goodbye.
chris
loving and caring. not harmful. Being sensitive to your feelings. A person who has compassion and mercy for another. I have experienced this in the past. A gentle person is a great person. Something we should all strive for.

they were dainty
you could glide your fingers across them, with a gentle touch
but still get scared that they would fall apart
into a million little pieces, shattering

I like gentle kisses and hugs. I am a fan of the “gentle giant”. I hate having to be gentle with people’s feelings. I’m afraid to have a child because you have to treat them so gently.
