This thing, overwhelming
Taking over, everything
Crazy, yesterday morning
A world existed, fully realised
Laughter, bad days
An entirety of reality
Now, your name
Alone
Takes up every other
Thought
Eyelashes, apparently
Are now, something I notice
All of a sudden
Memorising lengths and angles of curl
Symmetry of their butterfly flutter
As serenading blinks
This
A thing, I’m obsessed with
Since a quarter to midnight
Last night
As our lips, alcohol tinged
Introduced themselves
Your eyelashes, bombarded
My cheeks
So now every few minutes
I’m brushing the back of my hand
On my own face, lost to a mirage
Relieving that furnace, embrace
I’m scared
I’m exhilaratingly awash with hope
I’m scared
I’m scintillatingly amazed with life
I’m forgetting
What reality felt like, before
Your smile
Became both my twilights
Overnight
I’m texting, I’m on my way
Pensive
Till I read your reply, realising
I has now become, our ‘we’
Since
Your text stated you’re already
Halfway
Rushing, to meet me
Oh dear heart, what have we began…

Interesting to read. Nice poem
glad you enjoyed the read, thanks for the supportive comment
What's not to be loved & then some ..
(it be by your '& then some's', Hyung
I get a sip of Poesy's, rewarding elixirs)
onwards, to those lonely blank pages
ever onwards my friend, thank you!
An appropriate timing for the United States where it is to be Valentines day. Refreshing and lovely for the day.
indeed, dear Poet
refreshing, is what I was hoping to portray/emote
thank you!
A Valentine tale designed to take breath away and it certainly twined itself around my ever-romantic sense of the value its set-aside date places on that sudden feeling from just one kiss. A lovely read of love in the making.
'everything looks lovely, while it's budding...'
so glad you connected with the pacing
dear Fay
I was trying to imbue a breathlessness
to try and capture that suddenness
when we find ourselves falling, without warning
lol
Hi! L.B. Thank you for your poem. I was impressed. Happy days!
hi and thank you, kind Poet
glad you enjoyed the read
A fine poem, L.B.
I choose love.
Amen!
I too choose love, as my weapon
in this
my embattled state, as existence
(Hope you're having a decent start to the year Jerry
almost at Spring's door, grateful
for life's small mercies, stay safe my friend)
Absolutely brilliant and yes it will always believe no matter what we do.....I was also told its a butterfly kiss to have those eyes flutter on us!
Great stuff as ever
'eyelashes gifting butterfly kisses
while lips, tattoo life's memories'
ah dear treasured Poet, what a goofy smile
you gift me brother, thank you!
Apparently, Eye lashes .
Are now, something I notice .
What an apt description of love .
lol
glad you enjoyed the read kind poet
thank you!
(it's those small, yet monumental
sensations, that make falling in love
worth all the suffering and pain
in our chaotic existence, or so I think...)
The imagery of eyelashes puts me in mind of buttefly kisses, so gentle upon the cheek. When love comes rushing from both sides, it collides and fuses, and the joy is overwhelming. This is romance at its best dear friend, each day should be Valentines Day.
' each day should be Valentines Day.'
Amen!
and it so easily can, my friend
thank you
Yup, when that love bug bites the infection is immediate. Wonderful write ✍️
indeed, a bug bite as our gifted delight
glad you enjoyed the read, dear Poet
Nice writing! I like your style
thanks, glad you enjoyed the read
