I Shall Hold You Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

I shall hold you back

I shall hold you back
As so much is at stake
Life is not simple cake
Whenever you like and take

Life is real
Come near and feel
It will make you fully secured
That is destiny and our future

You are made to feel
Love is divine and felt at will
"How and why" has no scope for doubt
It is all in love and we must talk about

The sky is vast and so is the world
You need to come and set in fold
You are safe with peace in wide arms
Without a single thought of any harm

Never think of running away
You will find no excuses for finding new way
You may try to run away but face high walls
You will look back to hear my sweet calls

"Keya*, Keya* to run away is cowardice
Retreat from commitment and honest promise
Where will you land in this unknown forest?
Will you be there for want of no interest?

I am here and permanently near
Come to me without any fear
I shall hold you till last or forever
Think not of running away ever

You have place to rest on my shoulder
They are well built and little wider
They can take care of your every comfort
Just anchor your ship at lovely port

Love is called love and almost pure
That makes a person very much sure
I, for one, can hardly afford
Your absence so I pray for you to Lord

*Keya is name
