After The Storm

A song/poem about deep obsession about someone. Enjoy!

After The Storm

 

Inspiration can’t be found

As I sit up and think about

What I was going to write

To tell you

 

Lost all my pretence

Now I’m coming clean

About everything then and now

And in between

And whatever I was just too shy before

To tell you

 

If only you could see what you’ve done to me

Just made me so crazy for you, and

I’m just feeling so weak in the knees

And all I can think about is you

 

When you smile at me

It feels like I could do anything

When I hear you laugh

It feels like the sun is

Shining down on me after the storm

And how I dream of you

When I’m feeling lost for too long

And after the storm passes on

 

Can’t keep staying here

When you’re just too far away

And how can I stop myself

From remembering you now

 

Can’t keep the distance near

As I watch the old red ribbon fray

The one which tied my picture and yours

Together, up till now

 

If only you realised how much you mean to me

You’re so addictive, it’s true

Just dreaming of the day you knock on my door

And say what I never dared say to you

 

When you smile at me

It feels like I could do anything

When I hear you laugh

It feels like the sun is

Shining down on me after the storm

And how I dream of you

When I’m feeling lost for too long

And after the storm passes on

 

Well I’ve said all I have to

My confession is done

Do you still need me now?

 

When you smile at me

It feels like I could do anything

When I hear you laugh

It feels like the sun is

Shining down on me after the storm

And how I dream of you

When I’m feeling lost for too long

And after the storm passes on

I love the honesty and transperancy of your beautiful poem. We peered into the poet's heart and saw great beauty.

[Charles]

Your writing is all over the board - stories, poems, etc. The poems themselves cover a wide range of topics and styles. In this one, you've slipped into the style-theme of teen-aged love, forsaking the imagery that makes other poems of yours so delightful (poems like Sunset). For the style-them this is good and certainly makes your devotion clear. I believe there is too much repetition for my taste... the same things could be said in so many less words. Also too many lines wherein you tell the reader (or object of affection) what you're feeling instead of finding words to show how you feel (a clear example is the last stanza where you say 'it feels like.'). Good effort.

Great job. The expression of your feelings couldn't be clearer. I like the lighthearted feel of this. Did you share this with the obsession?

[Bridget Mcmaken]

wonderful poem. Very nice work.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Such an untruth in your very first line ... "Inspiration can't be found." She was nothing but your inspiration throughout the entirety of the poem. :) Great job!
