Welcome to Moondustwriter Thursday
There are so many wonderful writers and poets that I have met in the Social Media Networking Arena. My friend Neva is a gifted writer and singer. We met in blogdom and share a love for poetry and singing. I can't wait to hear her country songs! Neva likens her writing to music : "I am like a musician who can play an instrument but cannot read music."I personally am one of those musicians who can't sight read; fortunately musicians have ears trained to compensate. I wonder what it is that poets have? I think for Neva it is the ability to express intensity of feeling. Enjoy her poetry which is beautiful to the heart and ear.
Do you find yourself holding on to nothing
With absolutely everything you have
So afraid that you will lose
What you never had
Are you just letting go of everything
You’ve found so easy to obtain
While crying out for that
You wouldn’t want if gained
Take a look at what you have
Listen to its song
Perhaps you’ll find it’s the very thing
You’ve wanted all along
If you find you’re never satisfied
With anything you hold
Then your heart may be singing
The saddest song of old
*********
What is this perfection that you require
For your unconditional love
This you say you have for me
And put nothing above
The last time that I inquired
And established the meaning of it true
Perfection should not be a requirement
To receive this love from you
If you love me as you say
In this unconditional way
Why do you withhold yourself from me
Every single day
I ask this of you now
Please help me to understand
If unconditional love has no conditions
Why do you withhold your hand?

Why Withhold Your Hand
A Poem By Neva Flores
For your unconditional love
This you say you have for me
And put nothing above
The last time that I inquired
And established the meaning of it true
Perfection should not be a requirement
To receive this love from you
If you love me as you say
In this unconditional way
Why do you withhold yourself from me
Every single day
I ask this of you now
Please help me to understand
If unconditional love has no conditions
Why do you withhold your hand?
