This Thing I Realized

At one time, I remember walls built of glass

Structured around my heart.

I was desperate for them to last

At one time I thought that I'd be alright

Knowing I'd be safe inside

Knowing my heartache was sealed airtight.

Then you came to me

With charming smile and heated touch

And the glass began to crack

As I experienced feelings I never knew I needed so much.

With just your words, you drew me in.

Then your laughter filled my soul

And your heart told me my life would begin again.

With your hands on my face,

My doubts and regret slowly melted away...

And all I had left was you and I in an endless place

Then the feelings intensified

To encompass a million different thoughts

And the things I had hidden were no longer disguised

As I saw in you everything I had lost.

Now I stand here...

Vulnerable and bare.

Realizing there's no better place.

With you I feel in love and with you I will stay.

Beautiful poem, very! I thought it was very well spoken/written and had a high degree of honesty in the words. Again, beautiful. Tyfs!

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

Wow! A very nice poem with words that really captured intense love feeling and what it actually meant to be with all truthfulness. Well done, lovejulez03

And this is the essence of poetry, to evoke thought and emotion, this did both.
A truly incredible piece.

Wow, you touched on being rebirth through the sincerity of pure love. I hope that one day someone's intensity to love me leaves me feeling full and completed. I to would like to be consumed in loving bliss.

This is a very romanic piece of work. I was most impacted by your word choice in ...

"With charming smile and heated touch
And the glass began to crack
As I experienced feelings I never knew I needed so much."

... "heated touch" ??? That's fantastic! I've always known that feeling, but never thought to put it in words. If I had, I'm sure I could not have chosen words nearly as beautiful and descriptive.

I love this...how refreshing with dashes of loveliness.

"With just your words, you drew me in.
Then your laughter filled my soul
And your heart told me my life would begin again."

Much love

Stanza one and two Great idea I but honestly you had me wanting to write one as soon as i read stanza one.
Stanza 6 by then I was blown away i guess being able to relate to the feeling exactly.
Stanz 7 is where I was just like she gets it. If thats not love in it's purest form I don't know what is thank you. for this one I will be waiting on permission to use the thoughts this poem inspired
