A Poet's Crush

I've seen you through a past sunrise; sunshine. You are like heat, warm to indulge in Identify you, connect with you, and more. Living in a world that is filled with poetry Opening the skies is possible with just one kiss Writing side-by-side continuously. Intoxicated with illusions, swept away in seconds In a separate universe, a different existence I carry a pen that is a secret to my soul Hidden in the recesses of thoughts. A small gap, but worlds apart. Two souls secretly filling a pool with thoughts Allowing ourselves to be swept away by words. Dominating the mind to chase and suit my mood Allowing myself to take pleasure in your addiction Writing 'WITH' throughout the years You are the crush I can write endless stories about. The rush of wild dreams, kind words, pouring like rain Understanding and empathizing with each other's pain Physically I can't hold you, but mentally, you hold a place. You shine like a star when I'm in need A simple hello opens the door, I've kept shut Only you can intrude every year since we crossed pens Imagine a lifetime captured by silence Slowly trying to create words, Outlining the shape of your thoughts A crush, unwrinkled and without complaints. ~~~ By P.D. Oh, that desperate ache Each day that wakes And that secret chamber of my Beating heart occupied by your Humble words were written for me And captured my gaze I see you across the painful horizon But I still focus my eyes on What my heart instantly felt At the moment our connection melted Into my searching soul And made me almost whole So do I consider myself a stalker A Gawker or just a shy talker Afraid to show this crush Just how much I crave to touch What seems untouchable Is it really meant for me So still I silently hover like Another unfulfilled lover As I pray she glances my way And that smile that's lost In all the weary miles Breaks forth and blesses my day ~~~ Carl F.

Such a heartfelt and tender exploration of unspoken connection and longing. I love how your words capture the bittersweet ache of a poet’s crush—both distant and deeply felt. Beautifully expressed!

Linda, thanks for your visit and comment on my page. It's my first time discovering such a great partnership, quite enchanting, and it works effortlessly. An endearing and growing exchange of literary abilities. It's utterly common to feel out of control when temptation hits, and that's completely great! I send you warm wishes and light! Keep writing

This collaboration is absolutely beautiful and flows together well, I enjoyed it immensely. I was reminiscent of my many collaborations with fellow poets and friends of mine that are not but chose to attempt. Rather successfully I might add. One of my favorite poetic minds with whom I shared many collaborations with is the late Linda Marie-Barianna! We shared one together right before her passing which is a fond memory that i'll cherish for life. You always amaze me with your brilliance.

A lovely read. We can't always help ourselves when crushing comes into place and that's okay. To explore whatever it brings, the inspiration and fantasy. Welcome back PD.

Hi, Tom. I've known this place long enough to know how lovely and heartbreaking it is to crush on another poet. Thank you for your nice words. I had one or two myself <3
Date: 5/14/2024 1:10:00 PM
wow, here you are with a brand new poem. Great contest idea. Can two people both enter the contest with the same poem they've composed? It's so strange but I just finished writing a type of crush poem for another contest!! Welcome back, PD. I don't know Carl F. but I like his poem too.

Not writing at all, poem was written years ago. I presented to a good friend in hopes he could give it an ending. I was happy with his response to my poem. I've been busy, running online auctions after my dad passed away. :( I have a doll shop in "OLD TOWN SPRING " around Houston TX. That's my life now. However, I've never forgotten this addiction lol . How about you Andrea? Is Leonora, Nikko & Chris A still on here?

Andrea, hi... Yes, two people can enter the same poem. Fair-is-fair ;) they will not be placed differently. I'm just curious about the sweetness of a poetic crush. However, according to rules I can't enter my own poem LOL...

Poet, a beautiful collaboration, both poems are amazing and so wonderfully written, well done to both of you. And welcome back, A Poet Destroyer, its been awhile, looking forward to writing for your new contest, hugs, Constance
