Being In Love

Being in love is when Veils of mist vaporize And swollen buds appear To brighten jaded eyes. When they open up The heart defibrillates; Then the rush of passion surges And intoxicates. * Being in love is when Dreams of autumn whisper low; And the love fires burn In the frost of winter's snow. But the leaves spin and turn When sorrow's pain of losing Feels such exquisite pain; And things beyond one's choosing See love go again. ***

Poigant and beautifully written. The emotions of being in love are very well penned and very moving. The ending is sad and I can feel your pain as I read this. You are the best poet on this site. Thank you for sharing!

To be in love and then to have to watch it go is a sad thing. Lovely poem. Trying to read a few as I have not been on the soup a lot lately. Took a break and have been more on facebook. Need to get back to writing but seem to be in a writing slump or maybe just my mood. Snow just does not want to leave this year. love phyl

A roller coaster that you're willing to stand in line for. Yes. Hi stranger! It's been awhile. A very awesome piece!

You write with such a knowing and a way of expressing into words that which cannot be expressed easily. A beautiful poem Lizzie. I loved it! Mahalo

"When sorrow's pain of losing feels such exquisite pain." This shivers me. What strong communication! Did I catch this on PFT? Love, Dave

Your poems have an intoxicatingly soothing effect every time I read them, I am glad I didn't miss this one. How are you my dear friend? I know I have not been active on soup lately, have been a little too busy with life. Will drop by more often now, cant afford to miss on your GREAT works. Take care, Elize.

Exquisite words of love Elizabeth ! Well written poem. I purposely left squirrel out of the poem to have the reader think about what it is about. Anne
