Hold Me Now


 

 

 

 


 

 

forgive me
for being  brash but
i'm told that it's best
not to hide feelings
i miss you
i need you
you have unlocked
the door to my heart
with your warmth
with your words
with your look
don't stay outside
in the cold
come inside
hold me now



THE WHIRLIGIG # 356.....THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Beloved" by E. Ethelbert Miller: forgive, outside, look, told, stay, words, need, heart, miss, warmth, unlock, door

this was their favourite holiday place

the kids had been building a snowman

all afternoon

some louts sidled by and jumped on it

crunch 

throwing lumps of coal  at the  windows

as well

fisticuffs followed

the older man won

a hardened ex boxer hired

as a security guard

 

a shocked guest

sitting nearby

spilt her coffee

which drenched her woolly mittens

as she nervously searched in her bag for a smoke

drama was  an impediment to this lady's newly acquired

very expensive face lift and her post op recovery

she had come here to convalesce 

 

there are those who spoil

everything for others

happens too often

 



This week's words:

lift impediment smoke drench mittens wool sit guest coffee harden

fists man older crunch coal place snowman hire jump follow

Inspiration Indeed

 wild horses would not keep her

from attending one of his concerts

his playing is divine

his inner spirit soars like a phoenix

who would have thought that hidden

underneath the blonde bird's nest hair 

lies a superior brain and musical talent

a fitness freak  who  surfs and  hikes

and likes drinking chicory with ice cream

she hopes he continues to be a major player

fights his way to the hilltop

in the vast clearing of classical pianists

a tough climb


THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Inspiration Point" by Jennifer Jean: horses, hope, divine, clearing, hike, hilltop, bird, vast, hid, chicory, phoenix, inner

 cool

he sends her purple lilacs 

when she is in a funk

i think he likes her


he said her disheveled haircut

made her look like

a straw scarecrow

what a mouth

in a world gone mad

reaching to regain freedom

"ein unheimliches gefuhl".

 

my french grandmother 

just turned in her grave

she never got over the war

  

the world must change

nature is sending us a message

very loud strong and clear

 CINQUAINS

 

oh my

they are nice specs

her dad use to wear those

she liked men who wore specs

she thought she could trust them - not true

at all


someone

dropped their glasses 

who put them on a branch?

must be a kind person out there 

somewhere

 

they say

love is so blind

without specs it would be 

a good reason for wearing them

methinks

 

to see

or not to see

that is the  big question

whether to observe warts n all

or not
