This will be my first post here on Steemit, and to be honest, I was not planning to include poetry in my contribution here... then I saw that there was nothing in the category. Poetry has played an important role in my own life, and I am sure that there are a few others here who appreciate the art.
My first contribution will be a quick piece that I wrote for the woman that I eventually married, and is one of a few romantic pieces that I will be posting. I don't do a lot of romantic writing, but...well, there you have it..
i told myself i'd write you something
and now the words are stuck in my throat.... kinda
i can feel what i need to say
but nothing will come out the way i wanted
every time i think about you i
just
can't do
anything
i can't think, can't breath
my heart is racing right now...
i'm possessed by you
you're there when i dream and every time i close my eyes
or blink
every second you're away is like an eternity
i can't wait another minute
just to see you again
and smell you
now my hearts going crazy again
like a million miles per second
i need you near me
my brain is on fire, only you can put it out
i think about you walking through the door
and my throat clenches up
my eyes burn
i can almost feel you but
you're not there
i'm lost in this darkness trying to find
the only light i know
you
I guess i'll stop before i say something weird
