Poems for a sunny summer day 6- Holding Back
Related, not really, beautiful, yes.
Holding Back
Holding Back
Okay, I’ll settle
It’s just hard when
I’m so close
To something so, perfect
It’s not simply you
It’s not simply what you do
It’s not even in your style
It’s in your essence
Can you restrain?
Even for a minute
When you feel like you are
Being pinned back
From something so impossible
And indescribably perfect
That to look upon
Sends torrents of ecstasy
I’ll hold back
And enjoy the glow that
Is released from perfection
Because that, is also perfect.
