The way it streams through you
before it comes out...
I can feel it burning underneath my skin
pushing to the surface…
There it is in your gut stabbing,
me over and over…
Like an atomic attack on my emotions,
dropping bombs like…
‘Do you have a minute? I need to talk.’

Now you tell me you’ve just discovered someone,
And you say their soul sings identically to yours;
I tell you your soul will start whoring for more.

And this war, it is there, it’s now inside of me,
Then I hear your voice making the same war-sounds;
I feel what you’re feeling when you’re feeling down.

I’ve found now your emotions in me, animating,
I’ve no more story words in my mouth, just my eyes;
Yet the tear falling down your cheek matches mine.”

You took a word (the title) and really brilliantly wrote a freaking perfect poem describing that word.

I find myself even liking the author's note.

I need to read this again after I finish with this comment!

Like an atomic attack on my emotions,
dropping bombs like…
‘Do you have a minute? I need to talk.’

Gad, love that!

Thanks,

Tim

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
