Hold This Unsure Hand Again Poem by D.N. Rebb

It has been written
With fortune smitten
Open hearted love
With concern thereof
Demanding justice
Yet guilt confronts thus
Bless those who are happy
Searching for the lost key
Indebted initiative
Carnal lust, so primitive
A promise is given
As this poem is written
Enduring legacy stored
Affirmation, overboard
Hesitation is cursed
Life should stay unrehearsed
A gaze, a face, a spear
The message so unclear
A bottomless demur
Probing for a slow cure
Soft endless compassion
Silence to unfasten
Individual pulses to sync
Inexpressible sheer joy to link
A poise of survival
Lost in this whole cycle
Idle time to rejuvenate
Yet a new horizon awaits
The unknown future smiles then
Hold this unsure hand again

Desperation beckons
Counting all the seconds
Let's stand content together
This is not yet untethered
Breathe and reawaken
A new life has begun
Day by day, the distant dream grows
From ashes the phoenix arose
If this complex world would cease today
This love would be an empty cliché
Distant clouds act as messengers
Unhurried luring heavenwards
A surging complexion, yet beautiful
These circumstances, undisputable
Immeasurable blessings
Reasonable blind guesses
Let the starry sky reign
And remove all the pain
One has never looked better
Yet defiant forever
Sensitive devotion
Like a soothing lotion
Traditional velocity
Fosters sheer curiosity
Please come a little closer
And take it a bit slower
There is a goal for all
To forgiveness one crawls
No start, nor end on this chain
Hold this unsure hand again

Through pure glee and real risk
Together it shall stick
Sit silent for a minute
This love has no limits
No-one has read the novel of life
There's husbands, and their wives
Idly flapping through the breeze
Both just needing to be pleased
Desire put to rest
Love shouldn't be a test
Nor lie askew
Knots to undo
Remarks get made
A toll ill- paid
Compromises win and lose
Though slightly hurt when refused
Unconditional love
Release the peaceful doves
No time for cruel hate
It carries such weight
Calm has this relationship created
Through time, this mental picture's been painted
Neglect should not be part of the vocabulary
Encouraging radiant smiles are mandatory
Reach for roaring triumph
Judging is not enough
Once together, both restless spirits soar
Something about this, is just adored
Before everything just drains,
Hold this unsure hand again

Drifted journeys, drab portions to fall for
The world offers so much more to explore
And at times just spins too fast to manage
Leaving all astray with their strewn baggage
Quick clean-up is initiated
A straightforward task, still just hated
And unimpressive, with mouths agape
Looking for any route to escape
But there's always a counterpoint
And yet more to greatly exploit
Don't sweat the trivial matter
There's a lot of things still sadder
Distant optimistic yore
Negativity ignored
Everyone says ‘I love you'
Hence, through this remark, bliss grew
Like a cherry paired
With two to share
So, first a plan
Then more to scan
Not everything is as new proposed
And some can be easily postponed
A sinful blind must be removed
Too much, it already has consumed
A loving embrace lifts
There are no better gifts
Presenting a consecutive pennant winner
This story's not written about mere beginners
Sense is preserved in aged brains
Hold this unsure hand again

Yet this obscure poet wipes away the tears
And reminisces about the early years
Gravestones get visited from time to time
Simple wasted terms shouldn't be a crime
Redemption repaid
Que trust, again made
Carve a heart in the backyard tree
And fill it in with, he loves she
A leaf falls to the ground
Acceptance, the oak allowed
So, in the end, here they are
Converged everything so far
The mind can overthink
Real truth can sometimes blink
Convey what feels ultimately real
Not everyone shares the same appeal
Cherish the moment when it feels so right
And savor the divine sparks that ignite
A bard will then find true words to write
Few a little rough, yet some polite
Eventually it will all evolve
A literary creation, so suave
Go with intuition
Void any suspicion
Age will sneak up basically sooner or later
And maturity will lastly await on a spur
So be happy if it's just a smidge
Never give up on dauntless courage
As brave knights did once reign
Hold this unsure hand again

By individual actions, or through the pen
No one wants to go past all the tough times again
When in doubt add music to the words
It's easy with just a few strong cords
Then let the real artists replicate
The story that was once elevated
Aphrodite sweetly smiles
And approves of this style
Go forth now
You've been allowed
We'll comply
Will get by
Even the divas will ripen
As they sing yet another one
Harmonizing their sweet tone
Applaud when they're in that zone
Kudos to an encore
Yes, please, a little more
Blatant, always planned
They're so good, goddamn
In style, the current trend
An honor to defend
Just exquisite
So heaven-sent
Hence, this is the circumstance
When in sudden doubt, just dance
And purify this general uncertainty
As we are still all hanging on to our heart's key
Attempts at love remain in vain
Thus, hold this unsure hand again
