A Poem by Ms. Twitch

Inspired by the moves of love.

Where I feel and you're making me wonder

is it time I open my heart to more than just

what's floating in the maybes?

Holding you close and pushing away

feeling and numb to what's in the possible

You're the smile I've longed for

the chance for a second to be me for once

No holding back to what's a maybe

knowing when there's more in the unknown

Awakening what was once floating on a hit of hope

sober but high on what you're sending me

No more than a touch beyond the lust swallowing us

laughs caught between underneath and far away

Hold me close, let's take the long route to the bay

beers and the cheers, no wrongs in the mysteries

I'll take my time while you lose track of what

is in the maybe far in the in between

You're the beat I needed more than a skip

and no longer will it be a slip of my touch

slip of my words, but the slip into love.

In a very subtle way, this is very ertoic, though I think your intention was to describe a somatic resonance with being in love. My favorite favorite part is
You're the smile I've longed for
the chance for a second to be me for once
it isn't the MOST beautiful phrase in your poem (whats floating in the maybes is superb) but it hit a deep chord in me.
Really wonderful, absolutely UN-hallmark reflection on falling in love.

Beautifully written Gloria. Hesitancy, wariness and just maybes, fitting together like long lost friends on the page. Such a beautiful and stylish ending, leaving us all wondering will it be a yes or no. The choice is yours :)
