Longing To Be Held - Never Again Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Tenderly being held in a long lost melody, its rhythm
filled with the sweetest of memories that have enlivened
this life with so many aspiring inspirations.

Never wanting to be hesitant, just holding onto images
and pictures that have been etched upon this photographic
screen.

As music and its rhythm intensifies deftly upon this
mind and intellect for the rest of this temporary life
here on earth.

Longing to be held in a romantic song of love that may
change the pictures hanging in hallways of the past, yet
no longer wanting to be seen in the present.

Thinking and longing sometimes about being held in a loving
and romantic embrace, yet the past will never let it be
again, mind trying to forget those horrors of being raped.
