Teenage Love

I'm in love;  racing heartbeats  and  cheeks  hot.
 Strange, this feeling, where out of sense I'm brought
 Instead  of tea,  sugar  I  pour   in   pot.
 Baby  brother is  neglected   in   cot.
 Lonely   places   now  I  seek   for  my  thought. 
 The  sensible  ones  seem   to  me  but  snot.
 My  homework   and   classes  are  all   for   naught.
 My  whole   being   with   ecstasy  is  wrought.
 Confused  emotions  hold my nerves  all taut.
 How  long   will  I  bear  this  state  of  distraught? 
 Cunning   Cupid  takes  delight   with  his  shot, 
 While   I'm   all   tied   for   good   in  a  tight   knot!

Remind me of the song with the lyrics - "don't know much about history - don't know much about biology - but I do know that I love you.." That song dates back to the early sixties I believe but the more things change the more they stay the same! Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

This must be the longest monorhyme that I've read so far, Sunita! No wonder, since describing teenage years and love can be never ending:) Wishing you all the best with the early phases of parenthood! // paul

Oh Thanks for the nice comment. We've been a bit difficult too at teenage, at time I wish to go back in time to make it again where I hurt my parents and this gives me more patience while coping with my adolescents now for I know this should be the wonderful phase of their life too and I must not spoil it. I wrote this thinking of the youngest, my daughter, 16! :D Sunita

Those teen years are the hardest for both parent and teen. I am so glad my children are past that phase in life. You described it with creative clarity Sunita! 7 ; )

Take my word for it. It's not love, it's infatuation. BIG difference. Get back to your homework, young lady! Lol That's my dad imitation. I remember my daughter going through the same thing, Sunita. Your poem made me smile. Don't rush your life!

It does sound like an anguished teenager all right! All the angst they have! Good luck in the contest. And I am leaving the building now!! (going home for the day)
