Virginia Mitchell Poet Free verse

Needing You

A preponderance of evidence
escalates
as tangled thoughts figure-eight
only to resonate
in a haze of Cerebral*Hypoxia.
You leave me breathless
While my heart
hammers,
I drown in yearning
as realization dawns.
Life, without you, is torture
and this is bliss-
seeing truth
within your eyes
and finding love.








* Cerebral hypoxia refers to deprivation of oxygen supply to brain tissue. Mild or moderate 
cerebral hypoxia is sometimes known as diffuse cerebral hypoxia. It can cause confusion 
and fainting, but its effects are reversible.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen July 11, 2010 at 4:32 AM Love is wonderful and well worth the "Cerebral hypoxia" that sometimes results from passion. Nice imagery in this wonderful poetry, Virginia. Lovingly, Dane Ann

Doris Culverhouse July 10, 2010 at 1:06 PM hopefully, reversible...enjoyed reading your poem and it is romantic.

Timothy Brumley July 10, 2010 at 8:42 AM I remember that from High School! I also remember that it rendered me into a blithering idiot incapable of speech or balance. Thank God I overcame that! I think it may have been because I would forget to breathe sometimes. Now, I'm looking for the kind that grows on you, if you know what I mean? Thank you for reminding me:) And thank you for honoring my poem in you favs.
