Beguiled

Is it a sin to belong, yet yearn and long to be somewhere else?
The euphoria of anxiety, surges my hearts rhythmic contraction,
 Compressed chest, laden breaths, 
The timeless pouring of honey that mounds,
A comforting voice in a lonely place,
Fondness is warmth,
The awkward feeling of a blush,
My stubborn conceit, it won’t allow me to make any apologies! 
For this sense that has been impressed upon thee,
Is mine alone and your to wonder,
This is not an obsession, in which one is hidden, as to stock.
It’s the admiration of a crush.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I see what you're conveying and can relate. Thank you for commenting on my poem Here. I appreciate it very much. I don't know how to navigate through this site - I find it very clumsy - so don't know how to send an email or anything. Keep writing
