Feelings of Love

Feelings of Love


As I sit at my desk
My eyes wander off of my paper and out of the window
I look at the pretty clear blue sky, so beautiful, so gentle
I watch the birds fly, and the wind whisper to
The leaves of the tall palm trees
My mind slowly goes into a daze; I begin to daydream about him
I wonder what he’s doing right now.
Is he thinking of me, am I on his mind?
Does he know how I feel about him?
Does he truly care as he says he does?
Or am I being played for a fool in the game of love?
I’m so confused, someone tell me what I should do?
He says he loves me, he says he cares
But yet we’re still separated, something’s holding us back
My heart still skips a beat when I get the slightest glance of him
I still get butterflies in my stomach, but this is more than a crush
We’ve tasted so many sweet kisses, gentle touches, and caresses
We’ve united in the bed of passion
Made vows of true love and everlasting
Our lips purred the intimate oooh’s, ahhh’s, uhhh’s, ohh’s, and yeah yea’s
Tingles ran down my spine as he kissed my neck gently
Then pulled my hips toward his baseline
Heavy breathing, hearts racing, bodies dripping with liquid passion
Skin glistening like the pavement after a rainstorm
Limbs twisting like acrobats
Eyes locking after every thrust
This sensation sends vibes to the little spot
Inside of me marked with a “G”
Rocking back and forth, left and right, in and out, and around circles
Seems like it will last forever
But then my body begins to shake and I get feverishly hot
I get this explosion like feeling
But that’s not all we’ve experienced
I’ve spent many days with my head lying on his chest
His right arm around me, playing with my hair with his left
A smile forms on my face when he kisses my forehead and I feel safe


I miss the times when we would just laugh, watch T.V.
And stay up all night on the phone
As I sit here I think of all the reasons why I love him
The things that only I can see
It seems like so many people are
Trying to compete with me
They see something I have and now they want it
Afraid of what he might lose, he starts to become distant
All he is is a lost puppy
He’ll find his way home
You see, you can’t hide from true love,
‘Cause it will always find you
Its deeper then cupid shooting you with an arrow,
Because you can’t just love anybody
There’s going to be that one special person you’ll
Love your entire life
But we let fear take over us and do things that
Causes us to lose the ones we love and ends in heartbreak
Everybody makes mistakes, and if you love someone
With all your heart, sometimes it does not matter
But it’s hard to forget pass mistakes, they cause trust
Issues and might rise up some insecurities
Everyone needs someone to love and vise versa
You see me; I could care less about fancy cars, clothes, shoes,
And jewelry because material things can be destroyed
But true love never will
So, if you love someone tell them before it’s too late,
Because we are not guaranteed tomorrow
All I am is a scared little girl, standing in front
Of a scared little boy, asking him to give in to me
But until then I wait…


WHAT YA'LL THINK
AND PLEASE DONT BITE OFF OF IT NEITHER!!!

I really thought your poem was hot! We can all relate to that. Everyone has felt what they thougt was love while at the same time carrying insecurities on their shouders. Thank You for your self expression. We need more REAL TALK and less wasted blog.

That was crazy coo, Girl you hit some spots with that one, I can relate because i too let the one i love slip away and he did the same like you said being scared lil children we pretended we didn't like each but when around each other both getting jealous when getting attention from the opposite s*x. I was crazy and if i was ever to change the hands of time i would go back and tell him how i feel but i cant and the past is the past, That was a killa poem girl, keep writing girl.
Im out
