Am I In Love?

Signs of love!

Physical responses are out of bounds.

Cheeks blush, skin is tingly.

Stomach flip flops.

 There's a lump in my throat.

Twisted tongue keeps me from talking.

 

When you're around I stare,

and carry a bold smile.

I've got the breathless dizzies.

Dreamy mind wonders what our kids

will look like.

 

People say I'm glowing.

Dating others is out of the question,

you're my object of affection.

I have a strong physical attraction,

my heart belongs to you already.

 

I try to be suggestive and inviting,

but shyness is wrapped around me.

Jealousy overpowers  me when you talk to others.

 

Chemicals of love race through my veins.

I feel high, absent-minded.

Concentration is useless, my mind is full of you.

Everything is a constant reminder of the hole

in my heart,where you belong.

 

I thirst for you like a dry desert land thirst for rain.

My nervous twitches,

and warm fuzzy body confirms my love.

 

There's only one problem left,

How do I tell you how I feel?

Keeps it up:)

[Tate Morgan]

I think you are in love lol it is a great aphrodisiac to be sure as it makes us into the best we can be

[Jess.]

Awesome, I love it. Explains exactly what one feels when in love. I feel all this for a guy right now, and though its scary, it's amazing and good at the same time :)

Both you and your sister write real, genuine emotional pictures. My challenge to you is to try and be a touch less literal, to work with, or, if you prefer, to PLAY with your feelings and thoughts, until they become a POEM, not merely a Journal entry. Lines like "I thirst for you like a dry desert land thirsts for water" are a good start (btw; "dry desert land" is redundant; "desert" alone would convey the same image). But cliches like "warm fuzzies", "stomach flip-flops" and "glowing" lessen the impact of your work. Try to sing your thoughts, and rhymes will automatically suggest themselves, and the lines will fall into more regular lengths. Try it, it works!

First, this is a very beautiful, heartfelt poem. I really enjoyed reading it. The wording is very real and evocative. I could really understand and see what the teller feels.

Now for the nit picking:
1. overpowers is one word
2. it's you, you ,you throughout the poem, but the last line de-personalizes it and says him. It doesn't fit. "How do I tell you how I feel?" would add to the flow.

This is one of those poems you can't help but read and think of a certain special someone :) Love it!

This made me smile so much, just the reality of love's beauty and power within us. And yes, it seems you have something you must share. Oh, the wonder of love's birth!

[SpokenWord]

I say let him read this poem and I imagine he will get the picture that you have truly fallen in love with him. Oh those days of new love are the most wonderful feelings and experiences in the entire world. If this is a true poem then enjoy these moments for as long as they last.

Love it! Chemistry, obviously, is very important in finding that special someone and I think that you capture that imagery perfectly in this poem!
