Hold onto love
When it tries to slip through
In the net of a veil
Where vows drip with dew
It lashes and squirms
In words of fired exchanges
And enters in cold wars
Of cruel silent embracement's
If it hurts and it's good
Then it's the right combination
But if its gone out the door
File it under expatriation
There are days it's short
And walking down skid row
And days it's a champ
Number one at the race show
Remember the reason
Why you would die for that villain
If you can't then its dust
And you're left with blues billing
If you tie it with faith
Then every day will feel new
Just hold onto love
And it will hold onto you
I've read your lovely and expressive comments, and had to see what you're about. No one can tell your story like you can. And, in the case of an outstanding poet such as yourself, sometimes no one can tell someone else's story as well as you can. Thank you for this poem, and keep up the good work!
Loved the whole poem, such a beautiful true penning, my heart will sure remember this Just hold onto love And it will hold onto you Keep comming such cheesy offerings, this one for sure touched my heart and my brains alike. Thank you!
You may call it cheesy if you choose, after all you gave birth to it. I think that mankind is blessed by having its cheesier moments- gives them a degree of cute likability. I particularly liked your second stanza- - - - ] It lashes and squirms In words of fired exchanges And enters in cold wars Of cruel silent embracement's [- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I like people who play with words. That's what they are there for!
That means a lot Miss Williams, I think your right that some of the best human moments come from the sincerity of a heart, I don't know if I was sincere when I wrote this, I was only thinking of a couple of friends who are going through a hard time in their relationship and wanted to write something for them to get through the storms.
thank you, its especially wonderful coming from a poet and a friend like you

One of the best poems I have ever read on love. Very moving and inspiring. Liked the closure lines. So nurturing and so very true. A great poem that will find its way to our hearts.
