My big city dreams
of dressing up and ball rooms
Bright lights in concrete jungle
In the splendour of the new
Your hue is set to clear the grey
But my walls are empty
My diary is blank
and the streets are lonely
Our song is playing
on the juke box in our favourite bar
overwhelm me with your touch
soft hands like silk
Hold me from trembling
Your eyes don't lie
but close your eyes for this moment
dance slowly as you hold my hand
feel the air around us
Hold me in your toughts
My love is in your trust and care
Tell me I am special
Make me yours forever

Commentary
Hello Reader,
Hope you've been well. This period has been difficult on everyone across the globe because of the pandemic. I can assure you that this will pass over. Do not fear, be patient and show kindness. I hope when this blows over the world we be a better place with more compassion.
Hold me is a piece about being in the company of the one you love and trust. Letting go of everything in the moment while setting your thoughts on a singularity that encompasses all - love
Progressive Theme
The poem begins with a theme of an accomplished dream success but it doesn't make any sense without having someone to share it with. It makes the abstract feelings real and physical while setting a graphical theme of monochrome transcending to colours.
Thoughts
I thought about setting the theme in somewhat dark and sexy but as I began writing in my thought process everything changed. It was initially titled Hold Me In The Dark but I had to give it light cause love is a language of colours.
Dante is here no fear
