Hold me tight

Hold me tight

Because you can

In the breeze of your hands 

To caress

A distressed

Sort of cat.

Hold me tight 

when you sleep

as you know I can flip

from the margins of our bed

into the storm, 

the worm 

of doubt.

Hold me tight

A firm grip

Silence demon of the ship

That invites me to embark

On a road of dreams 

with scar.

Hold me tight tonight and say

Why the bones need to have names

While the hair is just a hair

Crunching seconds & despair

All too white.

Hold me tight & hold me tight

Funny wind

Will send me high

Shining light of moon & sun

Piercing clouds of sky above

Like a kite.

Hold me tight

And don’t forget

Hold me tight

And let me rest.
