my embrace

I loved your small hands
wrapped around my neck
and holding me tightly
letting me embrace you

My beloved that hold
lives in me fresh as ever
and without you here now
I long for it again and again

and in spite of my love
I let you go, hold another
for I cannot reason love
nor the feeling of love

Yet I know this my love
that if someone holds you
you will realize, what feeling
you had with my embrace

No one else can have
arms that can replace
no hands can touch you
the way I have held you

Then and only then beloved
you will realize my feelings
that were in that embrace
when I last met you love

Love, that's when I will have
conveyed my love to you
without action, without words,
and yet in most lasting way

To hold you in my arms
wrap tight in my embrace
with you holding me again
with those little hands
