I conceived thoughts of you under the moon,
Even a promise is poison ivy;
Settling is gentler than a prune,
Your eyes a garden, the thorns are lively.
*
Why love, must you bidden me to search him?
I burn with passion, till you fill my well.
My cheeks they blush, bright pink, until I dim;
The seed you planted to bid me farewell.
*
Now you’re back and my hearts now tender.
I hear you whistling into the wind,
Your cold air upon my legs, I am under,
This spell, and in a moment I am pinned;
*
Against the wall, you go against my will,
Risks, a happy pill I will take until.

Such a beautifully intense and evocative poem! The imagery and emotions it conveys are powerful.
Oh! This beautifully expresses the sweetness of love, its pain, and the complexities associated with it. Each line seems to unveil a different layer of emotion. A truly wonderful poem! ✨
"Your cold air upon my legs, I am under," Lol, I'm so sorry but that line made me think of 69 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Loved your poem!
In whatever form that one shows love you did a good job on this one and here is an early Happy Valentine's Day. Good job.
An early Valentine day, nice. The world needs a little love’n right now.
What a whimsical blend of tender longing and thorny truths! "Gentler than a prune" is a phrase that lingers with a cheeky charm. The imagery is vivid, and that ending twist—what a punch! Lovely work, and here's to spreading those sevenfold hearts! 💖🤗✨
This poem is beautifully layered with emotion and imagery. I love how you weave the complexity of love and longing into each verse—it's both passionate and conflicted. The line "My cheeks they blush, bright pink, until I dim;" really stands out to me, capturing the vulnerability and intensity of feeling. There's such a rawness to the way you describe love's power to both ignite and overwhelm. Truly captivating work!!!
Aww... This poem is so sweet.
