Hit By Love

Love gushed out like a tornado
swishing and whirling
wrecking heart, mind, soul,
a complete CHAOS!

It is a new dawn
rising from the ruins
in bits and parts
aiming stability...

The thudding heart,
and rising pulse
the building pressure
and flow of desire...

Bemused, in this heaven I dwell
controlled by feelings that swell
unaware of the path ahead
Lost in this vortex of emotion.

Jaafar Sadig El Waad Date: 2/3/2015 9:35:00 AM it also depends on place and time, Nadiya. I'm from Cameroon and Africa! And you believe me that female voices had been so scarce in literature until the advent of f...

Jaafar Sadig El Waad Date: 2/3/2015 8:42:00 AM Hi, Nadia! Perusing poems on poetrysoup today I read this one and was hit by the power of words, well-chosen, and the depth of tempestuous feelings. How trilling to read such a descrpition from a barely audible voice (women's! without aiming to hurt anyone, of course) keep up with the good write!! Login to Reply Jaafar Sadig El Waad Date: 2/3/2015 9:39:00 AM Of course, Nadiya! That's why i said I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I said what said and it should not be seeing as agressive. just a mere observation Poesy Relish Date: 2/3/2015 9:11:00 AM Being a graduate in literature, I believe that everyone has the right to express their feelings or emotions irrespective of gender... Thank you for taking time to read my poems and comment... nad!
