Closely Hold Me by Michael When shadows I no longer cast in darkest hours of dismay and hope looks like it cannot last please closely hold me on that day. I promise it be only brief. Just long enough that I might rest, so I'll feel safe, get some relief, until I am back at my best. Yes, even I am sometimes weak, this source of hope you've come to know. So small I feel and often meek and wonder if I still can glow. Some dreams I know now I won't find, but tears will never wet my face. I've settled it within my mind. I only ask this short embrace. When strength returns and finds its voice, I'll thank you in a special way. For now I simply need your warmth. There are no words you need to say. Proust- |

This is quite beautiful. When one givess, one needs a little back for replenishment. I like this. Joyce |

Michael-- "For now I simply need your warmth. There are no words you need to say." Sometimes a touch says more than words...thank you for reminding me with this lovely poem. |

Michael~ Often what we say in silent touching is just perfectly said. 'For now I simply need your warmth. There are no words you need to say.' Beautiful thoughts, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Tender are the words unspoken in touch! Your writing shows that of a kind and gentle soul. How lovely this was. |

Sy, Thank you, sir. Joyce, Yes, replenishment is nice. It helps the spirit so. Thank you. Martie, And sometimes that's more than enough. Thank you, good friend. Amuse_mi, Welcome to Passions. I'll be looking for you poetry. Thank you for reading and liking this one. Debbie, Thanks. It will be nice to see you posting here again when you've the time. Sue, You're so sweet but there really is nothing special about me, my friend. Thank you. Deer, Yes sir, lucky are those who have someone to give that caring touch when it's needed most. Thank you for your kind words. Elizabeth Anne, It always good to see your posts on my poetry. I do, however, ask that you post some of your own sometime so that we can all read and enjoy your words. Thank you for reading. Marge, You've said it very well, my friend. A simple touch can say much more than words. Thank you. Mysteria, Yes, they certainly are. Thanks for liking this and seeing the "man" behind the words, sweet poet. Proust- |
