Premium Member Now 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...

You Gave Me Your Heart And I Gave You Mine
You gave me your heart and I gave you mine— not in silence, but in the rustle of stars, in the breath between waves. Two birds exchanged their skies, two rivers poured into one basin. There was no contract, no promise carved in stone— only the trembling of hands and the slow unfolding of trust. We made a country from whispers, a home of glances...

Holding
It is nice to spend time alone but it is also nice to spend time with a warm hand a warm voice on your side. But even when I’m alone And feeling fine with it I welcome many minutes Thinking of your touch And gentle loving words And I don’t feel alone. Collaboration Amethyste & Jim Musics...

Premium Member NOT HOLDING HANDS
Why couldn't I hold your hand? You ask Yourself in golden bowers of infinity - Was it because he felt too old to do it? It was too infantile an act to make? Questions! Always questions! It is the time. And I tear myself away from this I should not defile the memory Of the dead, or besmerch their truth - If truth...

Still Holding the Phone
And you never knew— how many times I stood on the edge of your name, typing and erasing, drafting words that felt too fragile to send. I wrote the messages, but never set them free. My thumb hovered over "call" like a ghost remembering how to hold the living. Not because I didn't miss you— God, I did. But silence sometimes feels safer than a voice...

Holding the Bag
If you own a dog, at some point you Will be carrying a bag of poo, At least if you’re considerate And follow laws regarding s#%*. There are some, though, who flout the rules And think that bagging crap’s for fools. A joke said, aliens did land And, struggling to understand, Determined that the smarter race Were not the humans, for their place Was...

Holding On To Silence
I’ve been Holding on to silence All the times that you have hurt me All the times you told me lies Made me feel like I was drowning In the tears of all my cries I don’t know if I have helped you Or been part of your demise Was I right or was I...

Holding On
I have a wife, a son and two granddaughters, I have nightmares. A 'having' cannot be held onto, a Keep, a Fast, a Hold, all are synonyms for a fortress.... my aspirations crumble like ancient walls. When I pluck a pretty wildflower from a verdant meadow - a momentary kiss of joy, an enlightening ray of sun.... then cometh the regret, the withering, a racing time...

we find life in moments within nature in the rain or the thunder that soon follows in a bushfire from the trees that became hollow but she brings her own life and i find it incredibly peaceful like rain on a tin roof sometimes it's a loud love like a bike at full throttle she's lightning in a bottle energetic and explosive but not all...

Premium Member On seeing another poster of a child holding her lost pet
Another poster of a child holding her lost pet. When I see them, man, the sinking feeling that I get. Why can't pets just learn to stay at home? Why are they always dying to go on the roam? I haven't seen or heard of one happy ending yet. This is not why we did love you ~ and learned to...

Are These Sins Holding Me back?
I am wondering why in those gloomy moments lived away from everybody who said prayers I haven't reached any sublime joy... or even the ecstatic feeling of purity that many saints got looking at the magnificent heaven; are these sins holding me back and pushing me down, so I can't rise up and give my praises God? Is the bright...
