Trying to keep the balance
Under the valance
Refraining from a dalliance
Because I wanted more
From the moment I saw you
I knew there was something special
The look in your eyes
Told me more than your words ever could
The way you push your hair
How I could I not stare
Lost in the glare
Of your light
They way you stared back at me
In the day and the night
Feeling intoxicated
Waiting on bated breath
Because our hearts are hooked
But we have been shook and shaken
‘Til we feel all has been taken
But there is no chance
If we don’t advance
With care
Is all I dare for
All I ask
Watching the chaos unfolding
It’s all that I’m holding
Onto
The next place
Where I can see your face

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Relationship and desire in a nutshell. Anyone who get valance into a poem which isn't about home furnishings or old ladies deserves credit.

Can I read this on the podcast??? 😍
Wow! My heart is literally thumping in my chest! Amazing use of rhythm-Love this!
Some wonderful words, beautiful poetry
This would make a great spoken word piece. Have you thought of recording yourself reading it?
I read this outloud. Love the flow. Nice work!
Really loved the flow of this, and the message that came with it. It felt very relatable and beautifully written!
This poem flowed so well! I felt the emotions.
How oft have each of us been there, trying to keep our balance & not make fools of ourselves while being so irresistibly drawn to someone else? Well done! The shifting cadences keep us off balance while still rushing through the flood of urges & dizzyingly frantic rhymes.
This was so emotional and beautifully written! I loved it!
