Free of Thought



I hear the rhythm                                
Of your heartbeats
Eerie whispers
Those won’t but stay
And I pray I pray
That you shall fade
But still
I hold on

I line you now
Within my head
And write you
A thousand words
You will never read
But still
I see your eyes
Devouring yourself
Through my own

I touched you once
And wept forever
Condemned you then
To be a dream
But still
You are 
Too real for surreality

  4. I feel the bittersweet sadness here. The last stanza resonates a solemn finality. "I touched you once and wept forever. Condemned you then to be a dream..." What lovely poetic expression.

  12. I love Sam's take on your poem -"intoxicating insanity that is love,"

    You captured it so well -- my heartstrings are vibrating with your words remembering the lost love of mine own.....

    Beautiful,

  14. And you are only 15? Perhaps it's ageist pf me to mention this but I am astonished at the power of your words for one so young.
