A Held Embrace Poem by Matthew Holloway

A held embrace
~
To lay her in my arms
and rejoice in such beauty
is a wealth beyond measure
how sweetly fair and pure
such honest thoughts take
flight into dreams nightly
to hold in my arms, protect
to love and to know
how safe this heart beats
what words such lips
kiss in wonder, still
still the moment, stay
that it lasts an eternity
an oath whispered
to the warmth of her soul
tonight I hold you
never to let go
