Holding Out, Holding On
Folder:
Black RA TER I am holding out for a better man.
The one that warms my heart
like beams of hot, dry sunshine
in my birthday month.
I am withholding my kisses for
the cheeks that rise as
smooth as steam when he
smiles my way.
I am holding my breath to find
another man who could make
me breathe as happily and
heavily as he can.
I am holding out my arms to
welcome him into my heart.
But I am holding onto a few
precious days - and no promises.
