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?

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. ...

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...
