Infatuation

Walking down the street is no hardship

Step by step and you're home

So many places I wanna skip...

And doing just that - I end up alone

 

I'm thinking of you, loathing myself for that

Pathetic thoughts of an obsessed girl

So many times I convinced myself that door is shut

But I guess it stands out of my tangled,inner whirl

 

Too bad you happened to be the muse of my imagination

I'm really sorry for your lack of luck

But you inspired this silly, potent infatuation

Guess without such analogies life would really suck

 

Don't be mad, anyway its a nowhere city...

My coward nature and pride will never let it get real

There are plenty of others who make me feel pretty

You're just a secret I will never reveal...

I think you did a wonderful job capturing the feelings of longing never revealed.
Infatuations and obsessions come in hard and fast and leave just as quick I think.
I wonder if on some level we know that it will never work and so this is why we don't reveal our crushes?
I'm a believer that love happens slowly over time. Beautiful poem Ana. I often read yours and think, gosh I wish I had thought of that. :)

Thank you Ana :) i'm often caught of guard by the emotions a person can evoce, at the sime time i realise we'll NEVER be....and maybe that even doesn't matter. Its just another stop on the road... thank you for the review.

[Matching Socks]

It's still good to feel those emotions. Like a sugar rush from a sweet candy. :)
You're welcome Ana!

I can relate to this from my male perspective, infatuated with a woman yet hating myself for it because I know there is no point to it. Slightly bleak and sad. I like it quite a bit.

Good job, Ana! ;)

[Ana B.]

Yes, luckily those days are over. Thanks for stopping by :)

[Jamestown]

I could definitely feel the emotions in this well written piece!
Longing is what stood out, great choice on artwork as well,
the wonderful words mesh perfect with the art:)
Thanks for sharing and b-blessed!

I adore 4-lines with the heart...

"Too bad you happened to be the muse of my imagination
I'm really sorry for your lack of luck
But you inspired this silly, potent infatuation
Guess without such analogies life would really suck."

I'm not sure, if you've pen'd it all up deliberately or not but it's true that I find a wee bit heartfelt emotional feelings of someone's heart spoken through such poetic lips (words). In fact, such lines touched my heart & made me to think, what if there's no 'love', Would imagination or the raged infatuation/empathy of heart be existed in the world? And, the answer is, "No!". So, such lanes of 'analogies' always come our ways to let the heart be silly with worldly silliness.

You write very deep pieces. I've just subscribed to your stuffs a moment ago as well. Enjoyed reading your words!

Happy-Writing!

:) I don't know...whats the difference between infatuation and obssession....there is a thin line between fine things....life is funny that way.....
Thank you very much for your kind words :)

[Arsh]

Lol, you make me chuckle. Well, now I wonder, what`s "actually" a difference between infatuation and obssession? (Kidding)
Anyway, pleasure to read your work! ;)

[Ana B.]

:) i think the difference actually exists between these two.....maybe the length and recklesness of doing stupid things...a stalker is obsessed not infatuated no? :D
Anyway, thanks for always stoping by

[Arsh]

Whatss? "A stalker is 'obsessed' not 'infatuated'.. Lol Ha! You so fascinating, Ana. Umm, To me, infatuation's quiet impressive than obsession as long as 'being obsessed' is labeled with 'stalker'. (Kidding) ;)

Infatuation leave us wishing for things we cannot have.
"There are plenty of others who make me feel pretty
You're just a secret I will never reveal..."
Silence leave us behind and wishes we were more braver. I enjoyed the flow of thought. The internal thoughts led to the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

this was my favorite from your write:) :

"Too bad you happened to be the muse of my imagination
I'm really sorry for your lack of luck
But you inspired this silly, potent infatuation
Guess without such analogies life would really suck

Don't be mad, anyway its a nowhere city...
My coward nature and pride will never let it get real
There are plenty of others who make me feel pretty
You're just a secret I will never reveal...

these lines, and specially the last stanza i feel, sums up everything about what really one feels experiencing infatuation:)
i also like the ending of the write, soft, sweet, n honest:)

nicely penned!

[Moonie]

That's quite true! Infatuation is fast, while love takes time. Real magic always does take time, while the little quick tricks are usually the ones that are less applauded. Love at first sight...sparks fly.. sure, but I am a strong believer of patience. Wait for love to happen. Sparks are quick. A real fire takes time to be kindled. Excellent poem! You've found the perfect words! :))

[Ana B.]

True. But sometimes even this is quite enough....a sparkle to amuse us in the dark. Thank you for the review :)

[R Smith]

you're infatuation is to be desired, no way pathetic or obsessed just lovely writing Ana thank you :)

[Ana B.]
