Metamorphosis

 

Hold me tightly.

Seal me into you,

into the palm of your hand.

 

So firm, even when my body

is aching and yearning to

wrap myself around

myself, to

discover me, to 

emerge anew,

 

I am crushed

by the weight of

your grasp.

 

Remember,

you said you never

liked Butterflies

anyway.

Soul stirring and passionate words, the mood and flow absolutely gorgeous.

A true gem!

Excellent! This poem works on so many different levels. The title describes the action happening, perhaps in a metaphorical sense, and then the contrasting elements of intimacy and destruction throughout. The ending hit me like a hammer to the chest.

Thanks for touching me.

It is a sad comfort I get from this, not sure if that was your intent though. Like visiting a comfortable place you will not enjoy. Anyway, I like the construction over all, if anything (and I always tend to make some sort of observation) I would look at the second stanza. It could be stronger if you keep the reference to the firm grip and what it does rather than the reaction to it. Just a thought.
