Adolescent VertigoA Poem by Lewis Davis-NormanI like to think that a lot of people can relate to this. Let me know what you think!
God I fell in love again
But descended into dark
My fragile zeal wisped into smoke
My pluck dissolved to dust
The lights went like extinguished
flame
I blindly walked the paths
I knew or thought I knew
I want to sense your touch.
What's that? A light? I hear your
voice
Dulcet echoes calling my name
'I love you too' - My heart ignites
Banishing the pain
Alas, three months, I start to dim
I know you like my life
As if we are as one, controlled
By you, my freedom slowly dies
So then we talk - 'It’s me, not you
I don't think we can work'
Doling out clichés, the status quo
In the standard way, we separate.
But now I’m gone,
adolescent trauma
I feel the pangs of
lust
But I see another
standing there
Smitten, I can’t
refrain
God I fell in love
again.
