Notes About The Poem

Hold Me Tight

don't
               release 
          your hold, babe. 
               let me rest 
                    in your 
                         arms;
                    no place 
               I'd rather 
          be; don't release! 
               cradle me
                    until 
                         I 
                           fall fast 
                       asleep, love. 
                  I long 
             for 
                 peace of 
                     mind.

How many times have so many of us yearned for the caress that lasted as long as the timid fear, the need or the insecurity diminished and faded away. Edward you captured an emotion that lurks inside and escapes to implore for more. The waltz wave just enhanced the score. Best wishes Wendy.
