Each to each you hold my hand - ghazal


When I'm flailing topsy-turvy I beseech you, hold my hand.
All I ask is that across the snaggled breach, you hold my hand. 

When we're storming and the world is far too small to hold us both
I still love you. It's no walkfest on the beach. You hold my hand.

Please, when both of us are lurching, keep me steady with a touch
Just ignore the flameballs raging each to each. You hold my hand.

There is something that I do for you. There must be. Don't forget.
I'll be fine if you don't lecture me or preach. You hold my hand.

What is bitter now will be the thing my heart craves most of all
Though I'm thrashing at you I just want to reach you. Hold my hand.
