Feelings are rather peculiar, don’t you think?

How do these chemicals running through my body cause such real hurt and such pure joy? 

Where do feelings take place anyhow? 

Some may say in the brain

or in the heart

But when I feel

I feel everywhere

I feel happiness from the top of my head to the tip of my toes

 

I feel sadness turning in my chest and swelling in my eyes

 

I feel anger’s burning heat in my head, trying to find its way out my mouth

I feel excitement bouncing off the walls of my stomach

I feel angst rushing down my arms and my legs 

making it hard to move

My feelings take place in my bones

they take place in my muscles and in my lungs

Oh do I look forward to the day the happiness is so great it illuminates and warms my whole being

But I also fear that someday the sadness or the anger may be so strong that it will leave me in a pile of dust

My feelings are felt everywhere

so please be careful with me

Poetry and I have been closest allies for many years dear kmb, and I've learned many forms to compose poetry in, even became a teacher of poetry, but I've never, nor have I ever, read or written the sensations of "feelings" more concisely or excellently expressed than you have here.

Gosh, I love this sooo much … so much, in fact, it expresses exactly and precisely how my own feelings are felt.
Smiles 'n hugs of many thanks to you for sharing You, dear lady-poet! ⁓ Richard

A beautiful for the emotion of love.
"My feelings are felt everywhere

True love should be gentle and kind. A well written for the want of love and kindness. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You may be new to this, as am I, but the emotions are definitely there. Reading this elicited an emotional response and after all isn't that what it is all about?

Thank you, I'm glad the words made you feel something. They definitely mean a lot to me.
