Third Times A Charm

So glad it worked this last time.

Fate must have hinted at it

On that night so long ago

Though we didn't know it.

The rising feelings were soon let go.

 

Time soon passed after that night

Forgotten were those notions

Of possibities that had felt so right

Up until a wave of emotions

Came upon me at second sight

 

Spark, the flames tried to start

But another held your heart

So pushed away were the thoughts

Another pair of arms were sought.

 

Once again minutes ticked away

Nothing lingered afterwards

All had been erased since that day

Up until my heart roared.

When I saw you come once more my way.

 

Smiles found their way out

I just couldn't help myself

That night we all went out

 

Nothing had been planned

When you walked over again

But words soon left my lips

Conversation started as drinks were sipped

 

Suddenly I found myself under the influence

A love so true started to bloom

And your actions were my reassurance

 

And now I am in your arms

Third times a charm. 

Author's Note

This blossomed after three attempts, just like the love I now hold.

I don't know how to start with? Because the whole poem has a cumulative effect of loveliness on me. Ok, let's try my way:

"So pushed away were the thoughts
Another pair of arms were sought. " This makes me full of passions. I just long to develop such a nice style of expression.

"All had been erased since that day
Up until my heart roared.
When I saw you come once more my way." Another good part | This has a kind of universal appeal to all, I believe.

"A love so true started to bloom
And your actions were my reassurance" I am extremely happy to find that this says my taking of someone when I used to touch her. Though she is not there with me now. She left me alone. But what I found that time, a kind of assurance, you wrote here. Thanks.

Thank you.

Raja.

wow this poem reminded me of me in a way i guess. because it seems like we were having the same problems with the person we loved but i wasnt as lucky as you were to get the person i loved back in end. I really liked it. Thanks for writing it.

Thank you so much for the review!

I really like this. I hate rhyme schemes, even loose ones, and it's done very very well here. The ending killed me. I love how it just sort of took all these conflicting emotions and just stopped them and organized them.
nice write.

This was a good piece. For quick second I thought the reason ya'll got back together was becasue of those drinks you were drinking. But I see it was something more. This was a good piece.
