How it Was

The thundering sound in my chest 

Beats louder and louder 

I swayed when walking away

He was looking at what was next 

And on my worst day

A shift in arms extended to unextended

An inanimate object is touched instead

Joy bubbles up while warmth fills me

An uncertainty about what to do

While feeling pulled and drawn in

There is a pause before you move 

Not a move I wanted but one I expected

Was it shyness that hit like lightning

Yet the body language was close

A certain drawn in manner that was clear

No invitations for more 

Even after the most encouraging looks 

love poems

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
