Poem Commentary

I wrote this some years ago, about a person I shared deep feelings with....

Love Questions

Why Why Why
Can you get me so high
Then crash me to cry
Cause my circuits to fry?

How How How
Do you bring love sublime
In the moment erase time
Make your heart one with mine?

When When When
Will you put me in your mind
At the front of the line
Your feelings defined?

What What What
Can I do to move you
To the end of my queue
When you're stuck to the inside
Of my being like glue?

And when will all
The pieces fall
And shatter about
Turning me inside out
This fear clings to me
This confusion stings me
This need fills me
This love wills me
To tread with light steps
Dance upon glass
Ever so careful
To keep the balance
Taking the slices
Of time when you're mine
Blissful encounters
I walk a fine line
Of fulfillment and heartbreak
I'm here for love's sake
And I'm not sure yet
What this love means
How it works
Within the scheme
Precious moments
Always seem
Much too few
And far between

All I know for sure
Is that my love is pure
Deep and relentless
Wish there were a cure
Because it perplexes my mind
Complicates myself
Vexes my spirit
Should put you on the shelf
But I don't know how
Couldn't begin to imagine
How to set you aside
You've got my heart wide open

And my thoughts run like rivers
Spilling into mental twists
A torrent of feelings
I'm dealing with this
I don't know what to do
I'm not sure what to say
I haven't got a clue
How to do this the right way
My heart is filled with you
Can't make it go away
I am colored blue
By so many things you say

Or maybe its more
The words left unsaid
The absence of clarity
Your silence rings in my head
And all that I crave
Is you in my bed
All that I need
Is you out of my head
Remove this dread
That's stuck in my soul
Give me back my thoughts
Please relinquish this control
That you have over me
That you do not know
That you do not see
That conflicts my soul
That won't leave me be
That I cannot show

Why Why Why
Do I look to the sky
And there you are shining
Thousands of times?

How How How
Can I extinguish this fire
Without dousing the flame
Of a love that is higher?

When When When
Will you see before you
The gift that is me
That I see in you?

What What What
Must I conquer in me
To set myself free
From your hold over me?

This an emotional see-saw, tug-of-wore, merry-go-round. You have invited the readers to your playground of passion and confusion. Red light - green light! So many concerns and conflicts that you have questioned - may you find all your answers! Thank you for your meaningful expression...

Thanks for your feedback, soulwriter, it is always so much appreciated! Yes, it was a very up and down, back and forth, stop and go see-saw for sure! Thankfully this person and I are dear friends now, so the higher love prevailed through all the confusion...thank you :)

thank you WordSlinger! you are so very kind with your words and your rhyme! I thank you so much!

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
