I Felt It Again

The blooming of Re-Love

I felt it again

That feeling I thought I would never feel

I felt it when you looked at me

Like you used to

Before

 

Before the hurt

Before emotional baggage bogged us down

Before we lost the one thing we both wanted so much

Before you blamed me

Before I blamed you

Back when

 

Back when love was the only thing we felt

And joy was abundant

The world looked bright and beautiful

And anything was possible

Nothing could stop us

Our love was invincible

 

I hadn't felt that in so long

But I felt invincible today

Led on by the sparkle in your eyes

The one I haven't seen in so long

And when you smiled at me

I could swear I had just seen heaven

And when I caught that glimpse

I felt it again

Ok review number two:

Back when love was the only thing we felt
And joy was abundant
The world looked bright and beautiful
And anything was possible
Nothing could stop us
Our love was invinsible

The only mistake so far is "invinsible" should be "invincible". However, this is my favorite stanza. It is such a beautiful climax, the build is colored beautifully with imagery, I love it.

Also, where you say " I haven't felt that in so long" in the beginning of the stanza following the aforementioned; it should actually be " I hadn't felt that in so long" since you're speaking in present tense as if you have already felt it again. You would say, "I hadn't felt that in so long until today" for example, if it's "haven't" it means, even now, you still have not, therefore you could not say, "I felt it again".

I think this piece would actually be a quite stellar unisex monologue, to give you my honest opinion. I'll perform it for you some time! hahaha I love you maiN!!!!

Love is like ocean waves - you hit the swell and you bottom out, but if true, never ends. I know this from experience and you've captured it splendidly in your poem.

Nice job.

This is beautiful. If there are mistakes I didn't notice them. I think it's just beautiful, short heart-felt, and the flow is magnificent! It's almost as if it was an unintentional flow, but it was just brilliant. ANYWAY, I thought it was great, 100% from me all the way.

I see that sparkle all the time,
in my own love,
in nature,
in poetry like this,
in the honesty of feelings,
and there is no such thing as blame,
I realized just this very moment that I wrote that;
ironic,
the gift of wisdom God bestows upon man,
feelings and emotions caught up in past winds are in the present significant and insignificant,
not of importance for the regression,
but a determination in the validity of tears,
joyous,
for the knowing that that same look in one's eyes,
only goes back to the past momentarily to make everything else, such as blame,
obsolete.
And if that weren't true,
then there wouldn't be that sparkle.

Thank you for sharing your own.
