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.

THat's why it's always best to make love an ally, rather than seek to have the hold released. Exceptional write. Michael

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
