Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Romanticism

Beneath My Heartbeat

My tranquil world is trembling 
with sublimated anticipation,
I’m losing my footing of romantic resistance
Body shaking is convulsive proof:
equilibrium quaking; off balance, I deduce 
Mind trapped in love — 
can’t wiggle out   ...   can’t squirm loose
My feeble objections
are falling through the roof
Wave after wave
moves swiftly beneath my heartbeat
I’m tumbling head over heels,
landing silver rush hard at your feet
And your avalanche of kisses 
are beginning to smother me
Only your searchlight of desire
can maiden eyes see 
how far I fell ...
As waves of your love
has buried me deep
Wave upon wave,
an earthquake beneath my heartbeat
Save me with a yes,
baby come vow rescue me 


This poem was inspired by a poem
penned by the talented poetess, Alexis Y.
Her beautiful poem is titled: "The Pledge"

Alexis Y. January 11, 2018 at 6:07 PM WoW! Freddie, I am so honored and grateful that my poem" The Pledge" inspired such a romantic write. You just made my day. And I thank you very much my dear friend. Poetic friends such as yourself makes being here at the soup worthwhile. This is going straight into my faves:-) Alexis

CayCay Godwin January 11, 2018 at 5:28 PM This had me quaking in a good way. I must go visit Alexis as I wonder which of her writes inspired you. This reminds me of how certain kisses are absolutely intoxicating and DO throw one off balance, at least this one. Very romantic and full of need. All the best ... CayCay
