Hold The Applause
The final note, a shimmering release, The dancers still, caught in a frozen grace, A hush descends, a palpable decrease Of breathing, held within this sacred space. No eager claps, no fervent, loud acclaim, But silence rich, a velvet-lined embrace, Where echoes of the beauty gently claim The beating heart, and settle on each face. For some true art demands no quick reward, No...

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. ...

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...

WINTER'S HOLD
Worn, the sun retreats, a muted glow now cast, Icy breath ascends where warmth had bravely stayed. Naked branches reach, their summer finery past, Trees now silent, secrets of the earth displayed. Every vibrant hue recedes to solemn gray, Remembering the fervor of her fiery, golden hair. Stillness settles deep, as days grow short and stray, Heart of autumn's fire, a memory...

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,...

Forever A Hold On
Yesterday a funeral blocked my streets They passed their silent tears to me On window glass reflecting them in rain So soon to sob roots outside the pain Of the last closing stone — Where memories are in flowers thrown Has a heart in heaven a new name? Or is beloved just beloved for beloved's sake? As ones grieving overcast by their...

Premium Member Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long
Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long, and the world is full of questions that remain suspended in the air, unanswered. I want to explore as much as possible, to learn about cultures that clothe the heart, to speak new languages that open doors to unknown universes, to try skills that ignite...

Hold Me Up
Hold Me Up With conscious effort Getting older Forgetting, mind wasting Mind fading and aging We need a reminder Vacant thoughts Write down note Set your alarm clock Can’t remember Be with me when I grow older Sometimes I have writer's block Can’t recall Trying to stay sharp minded Whatever time we have left Your...

I built a throne to hold my heart
Once on a day of ice and cold I set out to build my home a throne Dead cold pricked my skin And reminded me of its breath I sat upon a polished rock of guilt But that too wanted me dead Through more nights and days then I could count I built the best seat in man Not gold it was made...
