Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

'if I Hug You Once, Could It Be Forever'

By Wilma N. Neels

My senses jumped into action
When I became aware of you,
Your presence overwhelming

My body,
My mind,
Only had one desire 

Like a song without a chorus
Incomplete...
Like a fire without a flame
No warmth displayed...
You draw me into you,
Like a moth to a flame

Slowly floating
My feet didn’t touch the ground,
Until I stood in front of you

Barely touching,
The chemistry palpable 
Undeniable too

It had to happen
If not today,
Someday soon
I wanted to reach out
Touch your face,
Play with the lines around 
Your eyes…

I wanted more,
So much more…

I wanted to know if I hug you once, could it be forever.


*For Sidney Hall, who gave me the title,
not sure if this is what he had in mind
but this is what I came up with :-)*

Carolyn Devonshire January 3, 2011 at 8:51 AM The attraction that comes with a first encounter can excite us but also fill us with fear that any attempt to respond to our emotions will end in faillure. Your poem is filled with longing to which many can relate, Wilma. Sidney Hall gave you great inspiration and you responded brilliantly! Bravo! Love, Carolyn
