One thought of her and your heart skips a beat Which prompts the little boy inside to squirm That sends a tingling feeling to your feet You feel as clumsy as a pachyderm The stomach starts to tumble like a weed You're breath is labored like you ran a mile The loneliness begins to feel the need If that ain't love, then why that silly smile And yet you tell yourself,"I'm not in love" "I do not want this happening to me" You never thought you'd find the one dreamed of In all those dreams that end so happily How quickly one forgets love causes pain Love feels so good it short circuits the brain July 16 2017 by Daniel Turner

This is a nice love poem. Your expressions shows how serious you are with what you want. Keep it up.

This is so sweet. I first saw the title on James Inman's page and actually called the title 'cheeky':) I now see it was for a contest. oops! The rhyme is just wonderful, your word choice original and so well suited to the theme. Your trademark wry humour and heart is wonderfully sprinkled throughout and your sonnet skills shine. A delightful piece, a joy to read.

Good creative rhyming in this fun write Daniel. I enjoyed it. Then the ending about the brain short circuiting made me laugh. Good luck in the contest :)

Wonderful. Short circuited brain...if that isn't the definition of love I don't know what is! :) Good luck in the contest.

Yes, Danny, love can cause lots of pain...but it's that same love that remedies the situation! Regards // paul

From your loving elephants, I sense you have not entirely given up on love, Daniel- maybe mistrust needs to sometimes be "shortcircuited" - because it reminds one that the capacity to love is still there...you yourself own that ability...I surround myself with good friends who are naturally affectionate, and have plenty of Hugs to hand out- kept me sane...humans have an innate need to be lovable!
