My eyes hurt
of pain
shinning crystal
like the stars at night
holding back
holding back

I Caught a S
in the corner of my mouth
holding back the chuckle
that joined it in its journey
but something inside bet
them both...

Why Am I Waiting?
Why am I waiting?
I’m tired of holding back;
ready to let go;
I will not delay!
I will tell you how I feel!
Maybe tomorrow?...

Lonely Crowd
Holding back
Afraid.
Of rejectance.
Reaching out a timid hand
Just as scared of acceptance.
Alone in a crowd
Similarly different....

Purpose
Wasting away
Moments to years
Holding Back
The flow of tears
Wishing for more
Wanting no less
Than to feel each day
A sense of purpose....

Maybe In Time
holding back the tears
reading an old love letter
it made me smile then
perhaps i should wait longer
they say that "time heals all wounds"......

Saying Goodbye
Quietly she walks
holding back a flood of tears
they all sense her pain
empty stares behind their eyes
as she lay her child to rest

And Then There Were None
Holding back
Tears
Fall

Silent cries
Into the
night
One
By
One
Sudden goodbye
Last
Call
One

One...

Trapped
The walls are closing in
There’s no escape this time
Trying to break free
Something holding back
Darkness
Ever increasing, all consuming
There’s no where to go, but in....

A Kiss So Sweet
My life was gently moving on
Grief abating, resolve growing strong
Until his kiss, within a dream
Ripped away the seams
Holding back the pain deep in my core,
Tears fell once more........

Husband
How is it you make me
Hunger for your rough touch?
Hate missing you so much.
Holding back the teardrops.
Have prayed for your return.
Hurry home to me please.
Husband sailing rough seas....

Lost Love
Hidden are the tears I silently cry while whispers in the dark wonder why love has
to die. Rose pedals fall to their inevitable fate, holding back tears wondering if
it's too late, to save love....

Shaking 7x7
‘I’ll be around, you know that.’
wrapping your arms around me
silent not making a sound;
In my hands that are shaking,
can you feel me holding back
quietly falling so hard,
knowing I see all of you?...

Forsaken Mind
Eternity of thoughts,
A lifetime of sin,
Holding back,
And pulling in,
Hidden tears,
Concealed inside,
Forsaken fear,
Unable to hide,
Battling the sane,
Within the mind,
Unable to balance,
Completely blind....

Cul De Sac
Brooding in the uncertain footpath
A new slant is not seen nearly
Holding back to think clearly
Which steps to follow next
Dwelling in a bleak
Dead end tunnel
Hoping to
See the
Light

Colors
Green the color of life
Blue free blue
Red tempered fury
Yellow soft enlightenment
Twilight and false dawn
When colors come to life
And art awakes the eye
As white and black
Are holding back
Night and day are mixing...

Wasteland
I AM THE DESERT
WAITING FOR RAIN
I THIRST FOR YOU
IT'S DRY AND HARSH
THIS SEASON OF LONGING
HOLDING BACK TEARS
FOR LACK OF MOISTURE
THE AIR IS ARID
STINGS MY FACE
THIS PASSION IS UNQUENCHED
DYING FROM DEHYDRATION.

Darkness
Delving into hollow hearts
always we're a world apart
reality is twisted, black,
knowng all a holding back
never seeing in the light
eternal bounty of the night
seldom does night make its mark,
so daytime seeks to hide the dark...

400 Questions a Day
Here's something every new parent soon learns
A 4 year old asks 400 questions a day, their minds do yearn
Craving to discover life's secrets
No holding back their keenness
Alright li'l poopers, got too much time to burn...
