The Man Who Held His World In His Hands
Maybe love is forever Or at least long enough Maybe devotion is definite Or will at least last a lifetime Maybe you can have everything in the palm of your hand Because I once saw a man With his world in his hands Every Sunday at 8:30 am sharp The golden hour of the morning When the sun is warming Not yet burning When the day...

Premium Member She held out a rose
She held out a rose, with a smile, although I was at fault; her gesture pure and free from guile, her aura did exalt. By her love infected, parallax corrected, her light I reflected. In tranquil repose ~ She held out a rose...

I Wasn't Built to be Held
They say grief comes in waves, but mine is a tide that never learned to leave. It rests beneath my skin like a secret bruise— blue, purple, black where it used to bloom red. I carry silence like a language no one taught me how to unlearn. You told me I was too much, too loud, too sharp, too everything to be loved like something fragile. So I...

I held long where I didn't belong
Where I should have walked away I kept running back… I believed in nothing Only speculations of what love is, kept me there. I deserved better yet i waited too long Longing for things to get better… I was lied to! Deceived and given empty promises… I got used! Troubled and thrown to tremble and die I waited long to see...

Premium Member HELD UNTO HER
HELD UNTO HER I held her, I held her in my vision; My soul surely stared; I held her, in my heart beats rhythm wells; I touch her mind her thoughts I play; Over and over and over did my spirit pray? Squeezing so tight everything a burl As I held on to her ; 5/12/25 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr....

Hats Held
Valor, thy call is a countryman's claim. Nowhere but not quite alone in the game. Thunderbolt, twilight is perfect for you! Hope will accrue before we all turn blue... Singular, smiling. Sink fast in the sea? Maybe not, young fellow. Then we'd be free? Not on your life nor the edge of a knife! Fain would the demon-sultan blow the fife... Trickling through...

You held the knife
You held the knife. All along I thought it was fine because you held the knife But apparently everything was wrong I was wrong Wrong about you and all that I thought you could be I thought I could trust you. But no. You held the knife facing me Waiting for your chance Holding the handle with all you might As it sits in...

We are loved and held dear
Inspired by the woods. Nature is incredible. God's blessings are everywhere. We are loved and held dear By Michelle Morris 05/04/2025 The birds sing effortlessly With Joy and Wonder Their Happiness is unbridled Their Peace shared with everyone The woods are silent There is no human interaction All I hear is birdsong and a babbling brook Nature's blessings without distraction...

Held Together Like Daisy Chains
pluck me like a ripened fruit from the garden that the sun shone on early in the morning and you would sigh in relief at the harvest because i was good to you see me as fondly as the first buds of spring unleashing their insides to the world how your tongue savors its fruit like a parched desert flower...

Premium Member Held Back
A tongue sheathed wields weight heavier than any swung sword. I learned to tuck my knives behind my teeth, to swallow silence—make it my armor, until my own words tasted bitter, cold as iron. There was a time I wanted to tell you how I could break— but truth isn't a gift, it's a weapon in the wrong hands. I remember that night at the...

Held Together, Falling Apart
I am filled with rage and frustration. I’m doing my best, pushing forward with everything I have, yet I feel forced to halt my own progress. In a tempestuous fury, I question you. I lead, I strive, and every step feels like a battle with you. You have it easy, assuming I’ll shoulder everything while you...

Premium Member Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held
Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held, I was born to be read once and never to be opened again. To be glanced at in passing, but never the one who turns heads. To be a writer and never the one written about. To immortalize the beauty I find in others, But only to fall under the shadows...
