Rapt Yet Sad

I’m rapt, yet sad those times I see that boy who means the world to me. When he walks in, I cannot take my eyes off him, nor can I break the spell he weaves so seamlessly! How can I ever be set free from eyes as azure as the sea? I’m dreaming, yet I dream awake I’m rapt, yet sad. With him I’d know felicity. However, it is lunacy to think that I could ever make him mine! My heart will ever ache, for he’s with HER, so it can't be! I'm rapt, yet sad. June 29, 2017 for the Form R Contest of Broken Wings My choice of words: #2 Rapt. Poetry form choice: Rondeau

That boy must have really had an affect on you Andrea. If I used affect correctly? I have a problem with effect and affect like many do. A wonderful creative Rondeau for the contest Andrea. : )

This was really nice Andrea. Your poem had a lively feel even though sadness was woven throughout. Best wishes in the contest.

Nice poem Andrea, I've read a couple of your poems in different forms with a similar theme and have notice you seem to be in the role as the young woman with wishes and dreams from afar...good luck this should place well..oh and me my theme seems to be used and left in total abandonment

I enjoy the most when poets pour their hearts out and I get to read them. Fine Rondeau, Andrea.

Really nice rondeau, Andrea. A little sad but so is love. You seem like the type that would be a stalker. Lol Won't take no for an answer:)
