Hold On Tightly Let Go Softly Poem by joshua kelley

SIMPLICITY IN ELEGANCE
A BEAUTY WITHHELD
SOMETHING THEY MISTOOK FOR BROKEN BRAILLE
LEAVES ME AS SPEECHLESS AS THEY WHERE BLIND

HOLD ON TIGHTLY TO
TUESDAY FLOWERS PAINTED PINK AND BLUE
HOURS AND HOURS OF WIRELESS WORDS
YET WHEN ASKED TO EXPLAIN WE SPEAK BLANKS
ARRHYTHMIC HEARTBEATS AND STUTTERED SPEECH
THESE SUDDEN FEELINGS POPULATE DREAMS

LET GO SOFTLY OF
WHAT ONES WANTED CHANGED NOW CHERISHED AND PRAISED
STORY TOLD AND ILL STILL STAY
BLAMES LAID ON LIES AND FAKES
LIFE LIVED IN FEAR OF LIVING
AND A CHAIN THAT BINDS YOU IN FEAR OF FEELING

THIS IS
AFFECTION
PASSION
DEVOTION
ARDOR
LOVE
