Poetry: I Wish to Hold You

796AB940-779B-4AE5-AFA6-98F42B892534

I Wish to Hold You by Marc Livanos

 

There are so many words,

I wish you could hear

whenever you are near.

 

The silence in my throat

wishes you could say

all that I cannot ask.

 

Voice your fears

and you will heal,

surely as summer follows spring.

 

Then only can I contemplate a wind

that would power the swiftest of ships

to set a course free from our past.


Marc Livanos’ poetry appeared in Sheepshead Review, The Merrimack
Review, Glass Mountain – Shards, POEM, Floyd County Moonshine, Old Red
Kimono, Ship of Fools, Foliate Oak Literary Magazine and Artifact
Noveau.
