Hold Back Poems

Dont Hold Back

In the darkness not a soul in sight
Outnumbered but still join the fight
All around you there’s no where to turn
It’s time to sink or swim I know you’ll learn 
Stand your ground there’s no where to run
Gave it your all don’t hold back for anyone

An
Escarpment of memories 
Distills in form 
A different layered light 
Before the storm.
I have visited vagaries
Of such places where,
Measuring worlds and
Matching faces 
Upon the inward surface 
Of a glassy eye
May bring me tears to cry.
To hold them from escape
I try, 
But I, 
Cannot be their jailer, 
Stand without argument, 
A drunken sailor. 
Leaning on rebuke,

Hold Back the Sun

Hold back the sun
The night and me are not done
I don’t need to be seen
Just sitting and thinking where I’ve been

For the night time
Most surely is the right time
As I go through the thought
Nothing more but less than I have sought

Know what I am
I don’t need to feel the grand slam
Until then I just sit

I Cant Hold Back the Tears

My heart is bleeding and my spirit is burning
Day light breaks and births another day
And I kneel down, and pray for you to come my way 
 I could not hold back the tears 
When I turn around and you weren’t there
I could not hold back the tears
When I saw you climbing up the stairs
I

I Will Not Hold Back

I will not hold back

My dreams have traveled
As far as the heavens exists . . .
And beyond

I have created my own dimensions
That I may dwell
In a certain certifiable solitudionous state
Where I visit 
To reclaim my ‘Self’
And recover my divine balance

I have looked into the eyes
Of ‘Reciprocity’
And saw my self
Looking back at me
Examining my
Authenticity

I have spawned
Alternative

Hold back the night

She was a chestnut haired beauty,
standing there all alone...
I knew that I... had to get close to her,

She had a stare that could melt 
your heart... if she wanted to...
I felt... something deep and warm start to stir

The night was still young, but both
of us well... not so much...
I knew that I...

Premium MemberCan'T Hold Back My Tears

Sometimes I wish I could hold back my tears.
Like when I get hurt by someone dear
or when there's no one near 
to comfort my fears.
Can't hold back my tears
when that miracle happens 
and my heart is filled with joy 
and I'm overwhelmed.
My very soul fills with cheer
and the tears begin to show.
Can't hold back my

Hold Back the Rain

Hold back the rain
   just a little while.
Let the clouds gray the sky
   but hold the flood gates closed.
Hold back the chilled wind
   up in the trees high above.
Let the warm remain
   just a little longer.
Hold the color of the leaves
   in brilliant reds and

Hold Back

I don't want to lose you,
We vowed this life is ours to share,
If these words are really true,
We could have a perfect love affair.

You said you really want me,
Yet you're letting us fall apart,
Am I too blind to see,
If only I had known from the start.

All you do is hold back,
Hold back the fever,
All you

Hold Back the Dawn

One early morning in May
Just before the break of day,
I spied a haggard looking Sun
Appearing to be on the run,
Bedraggled but feigning zest
Oh, was seen rising from the west!

Sneaking behind some clouds,
Like a thief hiding in shrouds,
Scurrying towards home eastwise, 
From where each morn he must rise.

The sun it seems got lost,
Carousing out and about
after

Don'T Hold Back

Don't hold back
Gave  but
 don't expect back
Before I was born
It was said 
givers never lack
Doe some use it as
An avenue of extortion 
Yet like a truth
The great are those that gave
Their are more to come 
When you gave


Don't hold back
If you got it inside 
Express it outside
It you got the idea
Share it out
If you

My love, my life
You whom I adore
Hear me now
I ask but one thing of you
For this, only you can do
I implore and beseech
As for your arms I reach
Hold back
Hold back the dawn

Let me stay in your arms
Where there is safety and warmth
Where my dreams nestle deep
In your arms, they will keep
In my nest of paradise
Where

Hold back, Little Heart,                             
Hold back the deluge of love
That threatens to gush out
From your portals
Hold back!
 
The object of your affection
May only require sprinkles
Tiny showers
Droplets of

Premium MemberHold Back the Sun

The curtains riffled by a breeze, intrudes upon the solitude
 ....Please, let us warn them, if we must, to restrain the hour once again, 
     for we intrust to weave this time to be our sacred interlude

So, a dawning sun lays softly still, resting on the golden hills
softer than a white
