Laws of Attraction

A palpable hovering haze of intention or expectation hangs in the silence Avoiding the issue of attraction As it weighs burdensome On the lightheartedness of friendship And its virtue of affection Subtle yet really hardly so Stubbornly refusing to name itself And come out in the light Somehow ashamed of its own existence Yet here we are already in the What If AP: 2nd place 2020 Posted on March 22, 2018

Very nice poem Line. Amazing when you meet someone and become friends but somewhere in the back of your mind something is speaking to you that this person could be more than a friend. Very well written. Oliver

Line, I think that this is quite a nice free verse 'companion' to your poem, "Love is Blind." In both, attraction is the theme. Love must be on your mind, young lady! Warmest winter smiles and wishes, :) Gershon P.S. My favorite book of my teacher, my 'Rebbe,' Rav Ahron Soloveichik, Of Blessed Memory, is titled: Logic of the Heart ~ Logic of the Mind. How about that?!
