Very nice poem. I think if you would cut some of the "and" words, it would really help this out. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know much about poetry but I know what I like, and I really liked this, lovely.
I find this to be a perfect representation of what we all feel at one point with a person. You know just what words to use to kindle the feelings that every person shares. It's a universal truth that you bring to light and make known to those who might not want to admit it. Way to go. I hope you continue to keep submitting. I'll be sure to keep an eye open for you.
You speak so clearly of the longing, uncertainty, fear, the want for action and the terrible risk that is caring for someone, an irrational heart indeed. Spoke to me. Lovely stuff! I liked the rhythm of the structure as well, that sort of stream of internal dialogue feel is perfect for the content.
I love this poem. It touches my heart and makes me smile a "I knew this soooo well"...

I was on the other side of one of these romances, and the insecurities work both ways: She's far too worldly, too sophisticated, to stay with a young nobody after the initial thrill wears off.
This is a poem that speaks to everyone in a relationship.
...we are so often afraid of taking and the hard truth that perhaps a fantasy is better unfulfilled. I really enjoyed this LadyJeanne...
