These Arms Long To Hold You

I saw you standing there One foot behind you against The wall that held you tensed Sometime in I say a prayer You talk to me most of the night And I think of you all the next day Remembering each word you say Your voice is still alive in the light I feel closer to you each moment Amid words that go on before you Chanting out passions without a clue Of just how deeply I need atonement As the weeks pass into months My feelings for you grow stronger And I cling to you that much longer The time comes where love confronts These arms long to hold you Against me close and sweet Feeling your heart skip a beat I haven’t a doubt I’ll be true September 15, 2019 Pick A Title, Vol 9 - Enclosed Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
