Unfamiliar

Living for years

in solitude

A massive wall 

a couple of good books

Some common sense

Kept a soul 

in a gross mass of peace

i saw you

a spell was cast

suddenly

a vast world of empty

which consoled an old soul

had you

emotions started moving

the speed of it

was intoxicating

I figured i shut the door

Sealed all the windows

you seeped in 

and all i can see is your aura

filling my every place

i took a deep breath in

dizzy with a form of euphoria 

for a couple

i feel the high

until the brain kicks in

seeing the changes 

all the freak out buttons are ignited

no place 

can do

no book

can silence it

no friends

can laugh you away

no sleep

can shut you out my dreams

so i misbehave 

you do not lash out

so i can hate you

for a second or so

unfamiliar 

life flows through veins

that were more than ready to rest

refusing to figure out the blood

you ran in me

to be

venom

or 

a 

cure

Now this resonates! Especially for the quiet, studious introverts of this world.

To have lived a life of quiet solitude, spending many days deep in our own world, to suddenly find ourselves thrust into a world of unfamiliar emotions and thoughts is indeed a frightening thing to experience. Sometimes Love has a way of sneaking up on us unexpectedly and scaring the living daylights out of us. It is a powerful force. Our natural reaction is to throw up all our barriers to keep this unfamiliar barbarian at arms length.
I have experienced the things you have written about here. Mainly on the other side of that closed door. I wrote a poem, "Into your Heart", as my message to my beloved at the time.
As i told her......Embrace it. Cherish it. Savour it. Before it is all too late.

Another poem that is extremely well written, free flowing and that strongly resonates with this reader.
Kudos, Nisreen. A very strong and emotional write.

terrifying to have real honest love sweep us out of complacency ... always a risk ..most always worth it no matter the outcome ... the caveat being abuse and selfishness from one or the other ... :)

This speaks directly to my heart. You've pinpointed the immediate implant and abrupt confusion that is causedan when someone creeps into your closed off world.. it is scary and there is no way to escape.

[Nisreen]

yes there isnt
thank you dear

[K.Butler]

This has a lot of strong emotion, wanting, almost needing, but trying to pull away. 'you seeped in', the words you used contains so much actual emotion or power. Beautiful!

[Nisreen]

Thank you ..........................

Very interesting work, RiverSided. This poem gave an utmost ethereal sense, including love in some ways in which it may or may not be. Again, excellent work!

[Nisreen]

Thank You Spencer

[Amberlilies]

You had from the beginning with this one. A very captivating story. The ending is my favorite section. Leaves me with a very suspenseful sensation. Almost uneasy. Great effect. Well done!

[Nisreen]

It is the truth, we never k now what truth will preside over us. Has he changed his spots or has he not. Time will tell. Keep the love in your heart dear lady. LOve is all you do? It is all we can do? LOve your heart, and who you find before you.Love is what you must do. Keep the faith.
