Maryam Jameela Haniff Poet Etheree

Love's Grip

Love's Grip

Love 
Grabs me
So close now
I'm so afraid
My heart is beating
I'm cold as winter ice
My limbs begin to tremble
I try to loosen its tight grip
How much I try, it doesn't leave me
It holds on, tormenting me forever.

Robin L. Gass January 7, 2009 at 9:02 PM Awesome Etheree, Maryam. Etherees aren't an easy form. Your imagery is great and the emotions of the piece are heartfelt. It is amazing how love can make us feel wonderful and just terrible, too. Well said! Love, Robin
