Bemused and Intrigued


This kind of love is so brand new to my world
Tender and sweet like a soft, summer breeze,
With a hint of forever, whispering sweet
and I am touched to my core,
Bewildered, yet compelled ...

I have tasted your passion, intense and mind blowing
There can be no other for me there, anywhere
Felt the wrath of your anger, brutal
Ventured on those pathways of exploration and blame,
Lived on obsession for days without end
Traveled those same roads of forbidden desires, chagrined
Licked our wounds brutally, while acting like kids,
Walked away for a time to heal and to mend
Those cinnamon tears, bright red...

But one thing I know for certain is this
I have never known another with your signature style,
You drive me crazy and you do that so well
Without even trying, I believe,
and just when I think I have this all figured out
Stamped and sealed, ready to categorize and file,
You surprise me like this,
and I'm back to where I started
Bemused and intrigued, hopelessly ...

ahhhh one of those things where it's like you want to know anything and everything, while it's all right there in front of you, ready to take shape and take action, making a reaction in the end, a *sigh* for sure, this poem flowed greatly, and it didn't hold back anything I believe, an admiration of some sort, to make the writer breathtaken before the reader is breathtaken, awesome done once again!!

i am very moved by that line

'licked our wounds brutallu,'

of the movement
till you meet that advisary

This one makes me feel like love is like a dance, a few steps forward, a few steps back, a few twirls, here and there, some gyrating and hip shakin....lol ok, so I'm getting carried away...Just enjoy the dance, ok? lol Great write, Alisa! Love the cinnamon tears!

Oh this poem was full of pain. The imagery made me cry. I believe that once bitten one should be shy. I believe that there are plenty fish in the sea wanting to be catched. Fresh fish is more wholesome. What more can I say to a bleeding heart. I enjoyed the read and how you drew me in so emotionally. Thank you for sharing your artistry.

As promised...bright shiny, shiny stars..and lots of them..lol. We're backing up the truck as we speak...beep, beep, beep..and thump..lol. It is one of your best Alisa...The one thing that I noticed is that when you use a voice of struggled reasoning..it gives your poems a softer sell...which is sweeter for the eyes and more real for the reader...Anyway, enjoy the sparklies..you earned them :) Seriously ..it's beautiful. Thanks!
