Let there be no love
Those that hold back false tears
Hated him and me
When you visit my lover's grave
Kill me and bury me with him

The Donald

The Donald stood atop Trump Tower
Counting his income by the hour
When it would go down
He'd hold back a frown
And when it was lost he'd glower

Destiny

Defy not the will
Escape not the clutches
Submit to your fate
Tread the uncertain path
Ignite your dreams
Never hold back
You are the master of your destiny

Age Rushed In

Age rushed in like the waves of an unrelenting sea…
knowing she could not hold back the tide
she welcomed in the ocean
and did her best to enjoy the ride.

You're Gone

Someday I'll see you again, my Love.
Till then, I'll seek guidance from above
To help me through the coming years,
To hold back sadness and floods of tears.

In Caps

Fingertips move the keyboard taps,
over time my patience just snaps;
Pulse raises in my bloodstream 
hard to hold back a scream
when you shout at me in caps.

Paris Good Soul

Paris is not an abstraction
Paris is more than my tea
Paris is now one theory
where I hold back my cry
because its heaven is not me
just a self-control
good soul

Thought of the Day

People view us with a quizzical eye,
when we speak of God’s bliss that makes heart sigh
but how may we hold back, when soul’s aflame,
so we share secrets of God’s divine game.

P’S AND Q’S

P’S AND Q’S

There once were some dogs in line
Waiting to go, all started to whine
But the mutt at the tree
Couldn’t hold back his pee
And the rest, they soon stopped trying

Success and Failure

As the attainments of others never assure one's own success 

So their deafening failures shouldn't hold back one's progress

For the Sake of Aesthetic

Artists hold back a lot more than their potential alone. 
For they feel if their tears are ever spilled, their pain revealed: 
Their facade, of being as fine as their art, will be ruined.

Not a Word

Hold back,
 please don't say it.
There it is so clear
 on your face
 in your eyes
 beating in your heart,
nothing need be said
 not a word 
 this must be it
 the time of last goodbyes.

Cry

tirade better your silence
senseless
then hold back not 
cry
tears flowing silent streams
trickling your breath caressing
turning them vapor
kissing skies

Demons and Angels

Demons and angels 
And spirits I hear.
Which one do I heed?
Which one do I fear?

This one on the left,
Tells me to hold back.
This one on the right,
Says hold nothing back.

Some Men Who Really Can't Call Themselves Men

Do what I must,
To keep him happy,
To please him,
Feed his hunger,

Don’t mess up,
Don’t flinch,
Let him touch me,
Smile now,

Hold back your tears,
It’s just once,
Right?
Maybe just once

The Old Fisherman Got a New Truck

The Old Fisherman got a new truck.

A cranberry Chevy.

The people who sell his face

gave it to him.

It replaces the old Ford

with wood side panels 

which hold back the barrels, 

his catch.

In Plain Is Pain

Where do the tears
i hold back go
maybe i am drowning inside
guess the chasm
is deeper than i thought
cause the salt
is catching in my throat
couldn't feel if i could
playing a shadow
hidden by the dark

Sailing

Cast all your fears to the wind
and take each moment as it comes;
row your boat and put up your sail
out to the far blue horizon;
lead on, don’t hold back for
you are not really alone,
near you I’d always be..
