Hold my hand and talk to me (Love poem #5)

Love poetry

 

Hold my hand and talk to me
 I’ll listen and laugh
  and wipe away your tears.

The sound of your voice when
 you tell anecdotes
  your hopes, your fears.

 

You catch me on one of my good days

Rain has stopped, the scent hangs in the air

Would you love me still in the autumn;
would you love me when I’m not there?

 

Hold my hand and talk to me
 sing me some praises
  give me some strength

I’m not half the man that I should be
 not even a fraction
 not even one-tenth.

 

I catch you as you’re about to fall
into a wintry, wind-stricken night

The stars are there, behind the clouds

They whisper: it’s alright.

Now here’s a poem that shows its brilliance just as the stars behind the clouds. Its magnificent is hidden beneath the layer that obscures its direct beauty. Very cleverly done. It shows a brightness in the soul of the author. It shines through any darkness. I love this poem.

All we can hope for is more good days than bad, when the world makes a bit more sense than usual and we don't feel exhaustion of constantly treading water just to get through the day.
You will feel better Ern, hopefully sooner than later.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

Ernest. The poetry was wonderful and so kind.
"I catch you as you’re about to fall
into a wintry, wind-stricken night
The stars are there, behind the clouds
They whisper: it’s alright."
I did like the above lines. We do need someone to tell us. We will be okay. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry for love.

i think reassurance is something a lot of people lack. there is too much uncertainty and so i thought how loving it would be to tell some earnestly that 'it's alright'. i played around with that idea throwing bits of imagery. the stars and falling are obvious symbols of romance.

You did well Ernest. A amazing poem.
