You, Me

woman-3169726_1280.jpg


I awake to a bittersweet feeling
Of you and your power over me
The guard on my mind is falling apart
The walls around my heart are crumbling slowly
You do things to me that I cannot explain
Lovely sensation that tickles and curls the toe
Causing me to lose track of time
Restless is now my second name
While I wait and watch for you
Hoping only for a glimpse

Day and night you invade my dreams
Thoughts of you keep me awake
Of things we can do together
And the things I want to do to you
I’m torn between the choices I have to make
Whether to let you go or hold you tight
But I'm unable to choose
I cannot resist you no matter how hard I try
You’ve owned me completely
I love it even when I hate it

Without you, I’m lost
Without your touch, I’m nothing
My memory is a mess when it comes to you
You always creep up to me
Snuggling in at odd times
Bringing smiles to my trembling lips
I never wanted you in the beginning
I loved staring at nature and enjoying the quietude it brings
Till you came along and changed everything
I don’t regret a single moment spent in your arms

I need you so much I can taste it
I can’t breathe till I hear your voice
The so familiar goofy tone
Soothing the aches around my heart
It’s become a sweet pain
As normal as oxygen
Itching yet pleasurable
I throb with desire for you
Only your flavour can quench this hunger
Don’t make me wait forever


A free verse sweet poem isn't such a bad idea after all, wouldn't you agree? Tell me your thoughts.

What a painfully sweet poem! I think we have all had those feelings where just the touch of a hand sends your head into a complete tailspin, which pales in comparison to the touch of a lover. I can almost feel the desperation you write of.

Fanning myself to oblivion. Words have immense weight and yours carry souls over the casual need and want to something else. I loved this ♡

This was SO beautiful! And just as I said in my post earlier... poetry is all over my "world" at the moment... something must be going on within me... lol

Nice lines of peom and heart touching ones. Love and affection are wonderful things if you caught up with the real one. I hope he comes back again with a flower.

Stay creative...
Steem on.

I love every piece of this writing.
Am a big fan of emotions, love and sensation. You got every lines so well written in the right places.
Poetry has a way of invading the writer's heart and mind.

I can't just keep off, I think I need to follow you up

Keep the pen rolling and steem on.! @chinyerevivian

The pain is actually included in the package, @chinyerevivian. Point of entry is the only unknown element. But it sure can be used for poems… :)

You've caught the exact feeling!! The contradictory, the sensations the new perceptions. A brave new world reserved just for the people in love!!
Happy to meet your work through the PHC Community!!

My opinion about this poem, hmmm. Sometimes love won't happen no matter how desperate you are to be with that person. It's better to accept the fact that the love you want can't be yours. It might painful but it will be more painful when you still hoping for nothing. sorry

Why apologise? Lol. Of course we can't have what we want all the time but we can always hope.

Beautiful heart-felt poem.

I had to smile at this line. “ Lovely sensation that tickles and curls the toe.” 😊

It's a wonder how much feelings we pour into our writing without even realising it. Thanks for reading

Beautiful poem. It describes with great expressive force the anguish, anticipation and even desperation for the object of desire.

Till you came along and changed everything

Funny How others have such an impact on the course of our lives, in such a short period of time. Bitter sweet indeed.

This reminds me so much of a wild love affair I had in college, where I felt like I was fine until he walked into my life and then everything was turned upside down. I couldn’t think of anything but him, which I love-hated! Well done, @chinyerivivian.

Your poetry kindled many fond memories!
The beginnings of relationships are the best: gentle caresses, tender moments, passionate kisses, hearts pounding, lust...
Savor the moments.

Congratulations on being chosen for PHC Rally! Have a terrific day! @chinyerevivian

Hi @chinyerevivian. Such a lovely poem. When you say:

"I’m torn between the choices I have to make
Whether to let you go or hold you tight
But I'm unable to choose"

I'm reminded of a saying "release it, let it go. If it were meant to be, it will return."

We're all felt that urgency at some point in our lives, as though we can't live without something or someone. Completely consumed.

It's the nature of feelings, deep feelings that have nothing to do with the other person. It's inner being.

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful words.

This is a freewrite? It's very nice.
I love freewriting poetry, but I end up taking most of it out, left only with the bones of the thing.
