I would hold you all night

[manifestress]

Waking up before dawn
before the sun
before my alarm

"I would hold you all night"
is what made me get out of bed and type that line.

"I would hold you all night long"
"I would keep myself awake to be your protector, guardian, sentinel"

I think of those times,
nestled in a warm bed
feeling you closer to me...

"I would hold you all night long, our bodies entwined."

I think of those times, when poetry comes, when visions have held me all night long, when I'm not even aware of where we do not touch...

"I would hold you all night"
"I would hold you all"
"I would hold you, hold you, hold you"
not letting go

"I would hold
I would
I"
