Premium MemberNow we can hold hands

I'll be back before it gets dark 
after we get tired of playing king of the hill.
Sun sets so late in summer
against the willows..
sometimes I forget.

No, it just isn't so.  
I don't always choose them over you,
'course I could never tell you that. 
You're a girl, a special one.
But I can't tell you that

To Love and To Hold

The tingling sweet sensation
As he grabbed my hand
I dared betray my emotion
This path I chose to stand
Side by side in lovers strand
Woven tight by fate’s hand
His stare of phony devotion
How can I question?

The beautiful morning ray, I hoped he not stray
An empty echo as I turned, dared not say
Our journey, the dark lair still lay
Maidan

It’s Times Like These That I’m Confused and So I Hold Your Hand

It’s times like these the stars feel far,
And every lamp burns cold and thin—
The world is loud, the winds unkind,
And shadows press against my skin.

I do not know the road ahead,
Nor what the morning sky will show,
The songs I loved have lost their tune,
And even time forgets to flow.

But in the hush between two breaths,
Your

BE TOLD, STAY BOLD AND TAKE HOLD

Be Told
What worth a thousand 
Can't be attained with hundreds 
To know the degree 
You must measure 
To get to the top of a tree 
You have to climb it.

Stay bold 
If you're working on it
It will surely work out
When you give it your all
There must be an outcome
Even if not immediately but it's certain.

Take

You're not there, there's no one to tell.
Hurry home to tell you, tears swell.
Life's so lonely, miss you my dear.
There's no one to tell, you're not here.

My world was all you, you only.
Miss you my dear, life's so lonely.
Trying to cope, still feeling

Premium MemberI hold them hostage

I hold them hostage
Attempt to bend them to my will
Dull the abrasiveness of now
Cloak them in a past
Devoid of presence

Feelings
False scents of marred moments
Simmering memories
Bubbling to the surface
In a cauldron of chaos

Hold hands together and pass

Life is beautiful but the journey is no less than a rollercoaster ride.
Let's hold hands together and pass each high tide. 
Let's make it interesting and cherish it together.

Who will hold her exhaustion when it gets too heavy

Exhaustion was a burden she would always have to carry
A lingering shadow that gave her no peace 
Even haunting her in her sleep
Her most notable feature
Was her eye bags so heavy
They begged to be heard
Screamed to be released 
Hoping someone will save her from the abyss
Of Exhaustion 

Tired from a life of always running 
Away

Hold the applause, I’m not dead yet
she said, in deafening soft voice
you wish to sing, to dance, rejoice;
give me another cigarette.

Hold the Applause – Pick a Title Vol. 52, 6-8-25, Sponsor Edward Ibeh
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hold the Applause

Hold the applause
As the last note holds it’s breath
Before the keynote
Exhales
Before the melody
Takes a solitary journey
Into a taciturn hush.

Nascent
Waits
Like an incognito coda,
A second ending,
Rejecting the downbeat of resolution.

A breathless
Motif
Expands
Into the glorious,
Unfolding
Into fresh synonyms,
Anointed arias,
Unfolding like auroras
In stanzas
Pregnant with commas.

Premium MemberHold the Applause

spotlight breathes
dances 
fist of faces 
flashing 
in a dingy bar
where we all are 
the world 
corralled 
managing 
on a fiesta of pita chips 
with everything hummus
plus pectin gummies
since brunch 
these little guts
in dystopia
and it's not 
the touch of hunger 
inspiring ulcers 
but their pink punchbowls of hate
better call an ark  
when primal peers 
learn

Premium MemberHold the applause

creative thoughts we seem to think
vibrations borrowed from vast space
our muse that appears in a blink
what else is it but gift of grace

hold the applause, we’re not the cause 
our consciousness is full of flaws

all eyes on us when we walk in
everything seems to go our way
we don’t need to work hard to win
the sun

As a young child of five, 
I found myself in dance school.
It was a fun place to make new friends,
as we learned about dancing.
After a year of training,
we were ready for our big dance recital.
The exciting night finally came,
we were dressed in hot pink outfits.
Now it was our turn with music playing,
we marched out onto

I want to hold your hand

Inspired by The Beatles' song
"I want to hold your hand"
.......................
A lot still in my mind to say,
For you to understand, I pray.
See! Close to you I firmly stand,
But first, "I want to hold your hand".
As I pour out what’s in my mind,
Please let our hearts become aligned.
Let words flow with joy and with glee.
Say it

What Do I Hold?

I see the shadow in your eyes,
The quiet war you try to hide.
Still, I stay, still I wait--
Drawn to every twist of fate.
On a bed of thorns, I close my eyes,
And count the tears I can't disguise.

What do I hold, when your hands let go?
What do I keep, when I already know?
I can't breathe in,
