1st place in the contest

- Breathless, But Keeping Balance -

           - Hearts are invisible and defenseless when one falls in love -
                                                                                  quote by poet

                              Lost in the charming melody of love
                     Got drenched in the magic of your twilight mist
                             Stole my heart and looting my soul
                          You drew me close to you as a magnet,
                                     just because you could

                        In the vulnerability, the heart was darkened
                                Merciless in crimson selfishness
                                Your demons left me breathless
                              Striving to pursue love and affection
                          - don't let the intrinsic value remain veiled

Lyric Man May 31, 2025 at 8:53 AM Your poetry is a beautiful oasis.. you want to come, read, and just rest awhile, taking in the fragrance of your art!

Paula Goldsmith May 29, 2025 at 9:10 AM Back with Congratulations on your win. I loved reading your wonderful write again. Have a blessed day with your win.............

Duke Beaufort May 29, 2025 at 7:21 AM Anne-Lise, the attraction we feel toward others can really overwhelm our rational side. I wonder if it would be a good idea to teach more about this in school! Some get so badly hurt in this game. I don't know how we can insulate ourselves from our animal nature and desires. It's a challenge. This work could be part of a good lesson on the subject. Smiles!!

David Crandall May 27, 2025 at 4:48 PM Yep, defenseless - good way to put it. I guess love is hard to control and leaves us vulnerable to thieves.

Janice Canerdy May 27, 2025 at 8:05 AM Yes, some people hurt others just because they CAN. Been there, felt that! Anne-Lise, CONGRATS on your win! Janice

Valsa George May 26, 2025 at 6:38 AM Demons hide in the darkness of some hearts who feign love. They are attractive outside. But it is hard to endure them. Powerful write, dear Anne. All the Best.

Ink Empress May 25, 2025 at 8:14 AM This is so moving , especially the lines " Merciless in crimson selfishness Your demons left me breathless Striving to pursue love and affection" that hit really deep and hard! Felt that strongly. Sometimes its not easy being with those that have demons that make it so hard for the ones around! Youv written a very touching take on the prompt. Love the title too! Best wishes! Sending you light always
