Best Holding On Poems

Just keep holding on

I know to you, the world doesn't feel right
I know, you gave up, you gave up the fight
I know, to you, the world is your enemy
I know, you feel, you feel you'll never be free

Chorus

So Just keep holding on...
the nights almost over...
soon...

Just An Old Poet, Holding On Until I Die

I write verse, live in the moment and score the past
oft revealing naked truths that set some aghast,
yet with rhyme and reason, I ink stain each white page,
some even tried to knock me off the poet's stage.

Tho'...

You swallow billions in cash, yet your assault strengthens,
everything with life now stands on one side against you
but your unpredictability is what gives you this audacity.
Your sarcasm and indifference to mankind
may seem to amputate medical science
but even on wheel-chairs, 
we will hold hands together, never...

Holding On To Love (Ten Word Challenge - 2)


Not even the TACTILE, brown sands of time can erase
my Beloved’s LUSCIOUS taste. BITTERSWEET dreams
wrapped in pink ribbons arouse my soul like QUIESCENT,
rhythmic raindrops tip-tip-toeing on AMBIVALENT seashores.
FLAMBOYANT and ARCANE as a rare, white peacock, 
my Beloved...

To the tune of Simon And Garfunkel's "Homeward Bound"
for the music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs_YQ6JuNpA

When I asked you to the County Fair
You had just rolled your eyes and twirled your hair
Got down on one knee to plead
Come with me, baby, pretty please
We'll have a ball, I'm begging you
I...

Sometimes I walk in shadow
Or do shadows walk in me?
For in their umbral, empty glow
The dark is all I see.

The distant light of hope appears,
A pin-prick in the night.
I find the weight of all my fears
Enough to block such light.

I reach out just for something,
But...

I am searching for a missing peace of my heart
It has been, hurt on, kicked on, stabbed with a knife
I've been crushed on, and torn up inside
Always looking for that magical rainbow inside.

My world  turned backward, should be going forward
Things  went wrong, pieces...

the little man who sold balloons
was blown away by gales
he flew across the sea that night
and ended up in wales
he soared above a field of sheep
balloons deflating fast
and held on tightly to those strings
afraid to land at last
the moral to this tale of woe
it’s always...

Million miles away,
Embracing the light of grey,
They may have heard you sniveling,
This sweet misery that we're nibbling,
The rush you're trying to adore,
May bring you back to the shore,
Bend down by constant flagging,
No string to hold for surviving,
But once you sit to realize,
Your blood will turn...

I've tried to start a new chapter and turn the page
I thought moving on from you would be easy
My pride got in the way because you decided to leave me
I'm holding onto a memory that I need to erase

Growing up I never allowed Hugs near...

I've been holding on for life, for love, for us, for me,
I thought the storm would pass by now, so that we both my see,
But the skies are even darker, than they were the day before,
And the distant sound of thunder, says that soon the...

I lay awake in the darkness,
My body so still but my mind racing till I get ill,
I ask myself
Who am I ? A complete lie?
My heart racing so fast,
My thoughts completely lost,
But here I am ,
Holding myself together,
But anytime now ,I feel it’s all going...

I rose from my sleep
As I look out my window
I see a new day

I hold tight to life
A day's breath is heavier
Each has it's season
 
Spring mornings are fresh
It's nature's nativity
Full of promises

The summers are bright
Long sunny days and warm nights
Full of life's passion

Fall is...

There were things of mine in the drawers that could be thrown out,
But I kept gravitating to the things that were his.

His Public School 45 autograph book. It was red, white, and blue leatherette with 
a zipper.
Inside was his hand, writing the names of favorite...

Yesterday some things happened that were not so pleasant to talk about. My 
dreams were 
shattered as if I had never dreamed, my children grew up so fast and the 
laughter became 
silent.

My loved ones died, I cried, and cried out without hope, friends used...
