winter walks, boozy tuesdays, and the silly way we laugh when we're not even amused, placeholder photographs, rainstorms under a crooked small umbrella. :action, re-action:

puffs of breath on the pillow
and i am nervous
i worry that
i'm talking too much.

lately it seems
that i am trying so hard to find the right things to say
and well

do you know how when you think of someone
you're very fond of for too long
and you start to feel a little feathery and giddy?
your eyes always catch fire
and you can tell because your face feels warm.

this is how i feel.

yes, it's that simple.

in the silence we know this:
that i love you.

after a small sigh, before a nervous monologue.

A simple, but well done poem. It was rather elegantly written and how it was structured sort gave off a sense of internal thought which I think added to the poem. Overall, a good read.

:: when i joined this site in mid 2010, often there'd be contests that would ask poets to submit 'non-cheesy love poems'... i think you'd easily win all of those... :: i absolutely love your non-cheesy love poetry... it unravels so beautifully... so magically... and so sincerely... that it's very powerful...

:: i stopped writing love poems because mine are so cheesy... ugh... :P

:: p.s. by love poem, i don't mean poems that are only for romantic counterparts... just poems that express love for someone/something... a friend or even icecream... :P
