Holding You

Holding You

You opened the door and walked inside
and asked a memory of me.
It was so good and my mind quickly encircled you,
embraced you, held you.
Your words, your questions, your thoughts,
I hold you here in my mind.

You opened a window and your fresh air
blew inside my heart.
You climbed inside and it skipped a beat,
then raced so fast I couldn't breathe.
Your touch, your taste, your love,
I hold you here in my heart.

You opened a whole new world for me
and showed me pleasures I'd never known.
You draped your ribbons around me
and decorated my life.
Your eyes, your smile, your care,
I hold you here in my soul.

Amp...... I totally totally TOTALLY love this poem. Can I keep it? Pretty please....

(I tried to pick a favourite part to quote, but I can't. I just love it all from start to finish.)

Nice. I've heard that line "you decorated my life" in a song somewhere. Nicely done.

Wow! Thank you Cdn! I don't know what to say except thanks! :)

Pen...I just looked up decorated my life and you are right. There is a song titled 'You Decorated My Life' by Kenny Rogers. Oh well. Hope he doesn't mind.

Very nice poem!!
I enjoyed its structure.
First, the mind, with the words 'memory', 'words' 'questions', 'thoughts', which to me express the roots of love, the friendship and intellectual bond.
Then, the body, with 'heart', 'breathe', 'touch', 'taste', which underline the physicalness of love. There is something of the passion in those lines, the rush for love.
And finally the soul with 'ribbons', 'smile' which tells about the deepest places that love reaches. I love the lightness of that stanza.

Thank you Sweets! That's exactly why I chose the words I did.

It was so good and my mind quickly encircled you,
embraced you, held you.
Your words, your questions, your thoughts,
I hold you here in my mind.

You opened a window and your fresh air
blew inside my heart.
You climbed inside and it skipped a beat,
then raced so fast I couldn't breathe.
Your touch, your taste, your love,
I hold you here within my heart.

You opened a whole new world for me
and showed me pleasures I'd never known.
You draped your ribbons around me
and decorated my life.
Your eyes, your smile, your care,
I hold you here in my soul.

I'm with Cdn, I can't pick out a favorite line, they all fit together so well. The refrain in each stanza being slightly different but all about holdng you had an amazing effect. Loved this one.

Beautifully presented Amp ! I loved this poem very much.

I liked the way you expressed especially the second paragraph


You opened a window and your fresh air
blew inside my heart.
You climbed inside and it skipped a beat,
then raced so fast I couldn't breathe.
Your touch, your taste, your love,
I hold you here within my heart.

Wonderful job Amp ! :thumbs_up

I love poems about love and this one is just beautifully written. I had Poppy read it and he loves it too. You must be, or was, deeply in love to have written it.

You opened a window and your fresh air
blew inside my heart.
You climbed inside and it skipped a beat,
then raced so fast I couldn't breathe.
Your touch, your taste, your love,
I hold you here within my heart.

The entire poem is so lovely it's hard to pick my favorite part, but I think this is it. I know the feelings it describes so well. Thanks for sharing this with us.
