I am putting my wings away
and storing them tightly hidden,
the final sign to show you:
I am head over heels love stricken.
I swear I was dying in life-
already ascending above;
but on a final glance down
my wings faltered and fell into love.
You caught my sight...
you clipped my wings-
you brought me light
so that my heart sings.
And I grow more cheesy in words
because my heart is trembling so...
the breath is caught in my chest
and it seems it won't let go.
...I had a decent song going
but I stopped to picture your smile;
and I find myself to be speechless
and fumbling more now all the while...
Instead of finding words to place
against a paper sheet;
I can only sit in pure desire
as I remember how our lips meet...
I still feel as if you are here
holding me tight in your embrace,
I can still feel your pounding heart
as you move the hair from my face...
The heat erupts in my fingertips
as I long again for your touch,
my ears ring like angels singing
while I hold hunger for that much...
Your sweater is draped over my shoulders
and I'm breathing in your scent;
I am closing my eyes while drifting off-
heart first into love's lament...

reading revised
this was a beautiful poem. good job, and i've been there a few times. -
very well written. believe it or not, the last part where u said it was getting worse was actually getting better, but then you just abruptly stop with those two lines. perhaps you can make a better conclusion. good job, though.

Thank you for commenting- I had a momentary lapse in flow as my teacher snapped me to attention (i've changed it btw)
