Hold

Contributed by Dri on Wednesday, 13th July 2005 @ 07:08:55 PM in AEST
Topic: FriendshipPoetry

she blinks sleepily
windows to her soul
painted the chocolate of a decadent dessert-
how many times I’ve felt the pleasure
of blonde running through my hands
a comfort, a prayer

those nicks on her wrists… what lie did she feed you
to explain all those weak moments away?
blame what she will
but nothing warms me like truth off her lips
she feels safe laying it all bare on the ground
she lets me hold her and I let her cry

darkened car
flashes of red and neon
signs and signals
she shook and gasped air around pain
my arms around her shoulders as I sang along
with the radio
he’d bled her again and I was right there

she called me again and it wasn’t enough
I want to hold her close and keep her there
whisper “I love you”
and run my hand through that golden hair

what is a friendship without the embrace that keeps you near?

You combine imagery and emotion so well in this write. Like looking at a painting and feeling like you are there.
Greatly written, i enjoy your writes.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
