Best Crushing Poems
Sat still, with eyes gazing at the mob of young men
It's him! No wonder, he couldn't escape my eyes
An edgy stalker, tuning a song in reprise
A feel, i couldn't evoke, still to no avail I sit down to pen.
Writing down to tell him all my secret fantasies and visions,
Starting with his machismo and that long lovely lashes,
His towering psychique, couldn't stop with this, as much more flashes,
Highly upright to tell, you are my infinity of divisions.
With the chill, running down my spine,
I called on my courage, walking towards him,
to find him ringed by those pretty girls, fit and slim,
With the complex of imperfection, I unhanded the paper with a whine.
Weeping in agony, holding the fear of being neglected,
lamenting about the timid me,
I let go all my feelings, badly wanting a spree,
With a lump in my throat , sad and dejected.
With a steady heart, i stepped out,
Spotting him walking towards me on the pathway
My heart pounded a thousand times faster, while i still pray,
Being desperate for that one eye contact, Oh! I would just blackout.
While about we cross each other, he just thew me a smile,
Heavenly so was that, like an angel falling from above
Boom! that intense encounter, the deep taste of first love,
With my pen adding up one more fantasy of walking down the wedding Aisle

Name of the contest: I'm crushing on you
Name of the sponser: Julie Leigh Rodeheaver
The deterioration in his face it was like
a withered rose in winter
What she said to him felt like a shard
of metal go through his heart
The harsh words of thee
could tare down any soul
but they're people out there
who do not understand the
crushing words the put
into hand
How could people be so mean
and the hurt this poor wonderer
constantly feels
he try's not to show the
unmerciful hurt But I can
see right through it because
I am the hurt
A blender
Can be used for mixing or crushing
Of many things
Including the visible and the invisible
Happiness can survive alone
But happiness sometimes does blend
With sadness
While you're touring you see
Startling poverty
While you're enjoying food
With a lot of people yearning for it
At this moment
Feelings in your heart
Seem to be mixed by a blender
Sadness always hurts deeply
Like being crushed by the blender
Unless sadness is blended
With hope
Welfare will give the needy hope
A prayer too
An encouragement too
Some confidence too
Some efforts too
And one's own determination
To live to struggle and to try too
CRUSHING LONLINESS......
Nothing can quite compare to THIS
the SOUL CRUSHING HEART RIPPING
FEELINGS OF LONLINESS
I WANT to do EVERYTHING with YOU the one I ADORE
sinking feeling LUMP in my throat the minute u WALKED out that DOOR
HOW can it be one minute u WERE just standing there?
now life continues around me to devastated to CARE
These feelings both a blessing & a curse
I KNOW only in time the emptiness gets MUCH worse
CRUSHING DESPAIR has engulfed ME
I lay in the spot where YOU used to BE
I breathe u in pretend your lying there
pretending to admire me W UR LOVING STARE
I close my eyes aching to be in your embrace
here come the tears Ive OPENED up the Flood gates
just one more minute or brief second would do
MY world missing it's color and its shape WITHOUT YOU
I SEE my future in your beautiful blue eyes
TEARS me to pieces having to say our GOODBYES
I wanna be with you EVERY day of every YEAR
YOU WARM my SPIRIT, light my FIRES, with U I have NO FEAR
ITS NEVER enough to many things I WANT to say
I DEEPLY LOVE you in a million different ways
You have resurrected me from a dark dark place
You are the REASON I bear this SMILE upon my face
YOU are my happiness you are my best friend
YOU treat me like a PRINCE U are truly HEAVEN sent
NEVER have I experienced a devotion so pure & TRUE
MY ENTIRE world became BRIGHTER the day that I found YOU
YOU make me THINK harder make me strive for the best
your LOVE makes me a better WOMEN to this I can ATTEST
YOU make me feel special & cherished like a rare jewel
TO the ends of the EARTH is where I'd walk WITH YOU
I had a taste of the REALLY GOOD STUFF
NEVER satisfied time with YOU is NEVER enough
WE have a BOND & CONNECTION that you so rarely SEE
the kind of DEDICATION that others ENVY
WE WILL survive the emptiness pain & the tears
Our LOVE continually EVOLVING through the years
NEVER have I experienced a devotion so pure & TRUE
MY ENTIRE world became BRIGHTER the day that I met YOU
MY heart beats WEAK I pray eventually it will have ENOUGH
Because won't be FULLLY functional until You COME BACK to FILL it up
"When God closes a door he opens a window."
Quote - Unknown
my nest became empty
not because my child graduated high school
and went off to university
graduated from that
got a job in another city
fell in love and got married
my son never saw the blue sky
I held him but twice
once dead in my arms
and then to place him in his coffin bed
where his bones will lay for eternity
my husband and I took apart his lovely nursery room
donating everything to a woman's shelter
mom, I asked do I return the gifts to people
after it was empty we closed the door
and we wept holding each other
my husband took it very badly
sinking into a deep depression and funk
I could not pull him back
he was slipping away from me and our love
one winter day
he crashed his car
and now my nest was empty forever
I will never know for sure if it was an accident
but, I still love him and will always
now, what
alone the walls crushing in on me
the memories wanting to bury me
lost in a dark hole of nothing
I could not live like this way
so I went home to my parents
I went back to my original nest
my old room
to the love only parents can give
and one step at a time
oh yes, it took lots of time
now, today, I have a new nest
full of the things that I love
and a sweet little cat to love
will there be more
well, only time will tell
deep sea
would be
new bub
on sub
fall down
long frown
nerves shot
gut knot
crush depth
last breath
light red
hope fed
want live
may give
can’t bear
no air

Hey boy, I’m crushing on you;
Why is that so hard to admit to?
You once said you were under my skin,
I guess it’s time to tell you I’ve fallen;
I hear your voice when I’m all alone
2 am wanting to grab you through the phone;
Wishing I could roll over and get a hug,
when I’m with you it’s never enough;
All night long, silently calling your name,
my heart my dreams have no shame;
Looking in your eyes is a punch in the gut,
ambivalence is a painful choke up;
I was wrong to look backward at a fire
When I see you? Pure desire.
Hey boy, I can’t stop crushing on you;
You knock the wind out of me
when you walk in the room.

I AM CRUSHING ON YOU- -
~Oh, girl
I’m just a nerd
Ah! Yeah it’s true
I am, I am
I am a crushing on you;
It’s so true I watch you from the bleachers;
Yes!, I’m to timid to speak to you;
All you want is them jocks;
Those boys with the 6 packs;
All I have is argon wool socks;
So what if my pants rolled up to my back
Girl, you rock;
And I’m crushing on you;
Guess in my fondest wish;
We could never go on a date;
Because you think maybe I’m to little, for pity-sake;
I’ve loved you since we were eight;
Guess in my fondest wish;
To you I’m just a fish;
In my world we would kiss;
After of coarse we’ve been married;
As for now I guess you’ll goo-goo over Larry;
So I’m standing back, relax… stop holding your breath;
I will never talk, I just two-feet from being a stock-er;
This I am sure;
I think I luv ya;
And I am crushing on you girl;
PS don’t tell the teacher or your Father……~

I’m Crushing On You Poetry Contest

Horror things aren't scary anymore
Neither deformed faces nor the creepy lore
Doesn't startle me the way they used to
Doesn't make the stomach beg for a loo
I guess this is what numbness feels like
the ghost inside and out seems alike
The inner demons carry more suspense
When they come and give a nasty glance
Their babble makes impeccable sense
Does fake eerie music stand a chance?
The rapid breathing, the pale face
No longer have any grace
Darkness looks so captivating
It always manages to keep me waiting
Every day I wait for intense nightmares
Desperate to feel emotions, all its layers
Back then I thoughT I was young and not clever
Crushing on you but now it seems like forever
If only I could but tell you the way I feel
Each time I smell that myristica fragrance from your perfume
My stomach got no choice but to catch butterflies
And it feels good kike the taste of Frontline fries
My heart, it beats rythmically like the sound of fontomfrom
Being played at Akwasidae till it is Awukudae
My brains go numb till the sound of Xing playing the guitar
Each time I look at you, I can but only imagine
The warmth of your lips against none but mine
Strolling the streets of Ayeduase your hand in mine
If only I could but tell you am in love with you
Wondering if your dad stole the stars to put in your eyes
But all I can see in your eyes is truthful lies
I am crushing on you !
Impossible to ignore
your firm personality alluring attracting me.
I am crushing on you Dear!
I am almost certain, you won’t hear
throbbing beats of my wobbling heart,
but I can’t restrain myself being tempted
finding immense wealth in your mind.
As love is blind, even if you be unkind
I am crushing on you, Dear!
I am swimming and sinking in dulcet dream.
Emotive urge surging, bubbling blood flooding,
passion piercing pricking, ardent ardor whirling,
I am spinning on axis of non -response,
swinging on pivot of confusion.
I am crushing on you, Dear!
though your inertness is almost clear!
'Almost' means ninety-five percent,
as such five percent faint hope is still left.
Can't explain 'how?' or why?'
But 'Perhaps' may justify!
Dream pulls me to soar high.
Reality pushes to drown touching abyss
causing five percent hope to disappear!
Yet, I am crushing on you Dear!
Note: This is fiction, but, sadly, many first wives get dumped for younger women.
He says he loves her . . .
With senses reeling
and edges blurred,
I'm frozen in shock, unable to pull
my heart from under the knife.
I've loved him from childhood.
My purpose, my identity,
my very self, effaced
by him, our two sons
and one daughter.
Everything I've known
sliced away in one crushing blow -
three spoken words.
He says he loves her.

I’m crushing on you; can’t you see
the look on my face when you’re near?
You don’t even seem to see me,
and that is the thing I most fear.
Each time that I see you walk by,
I’m crushing on you; can’t you see
how I’m trying to catch your eye?
Just how obvious must I be?
Sometimes you turn nonchalantly
toward me watching you. I turn red!
I’m crushing on you. Can’t you see?
I’ve no way to get in your head!
To my existence, are you blind?
Please tell me the reality.
For always it’s you on MY mind.
I’m crushing on you; can’t you see?

Revenge is vengeful,
Shaking peace, an ugly frame,
Civility shame.
