My Only Exception

I don't know what to do if once more I lose you

When you turned away from the picture window
The sun was shining radiantly behind you
Your kind eyes lit up brighter than any star
Smile giving away your absolute rapture

I never imagined we would be standing here
Especially with love written across our faces
Barely able to hold back our constant urges
For that one simple gratifying touch of lips

Your burning eyes still make my knees weak
I crave nothing more than to be near you
We sit and gently laugh with pure innocence
It would be so easy to give in to the temptation

As we walk our hands lightly brush together
Controlling my thoughts gets harder every day
Watching how you carry yourself so proudly
 With a quiet smile kidnapping my face

Everyone questions if I have lost my mind
If being sane means I have to lose you again
I would dwell forever in the land of insanity
As long as I got to hold your hand all the while

They said our love was nothing but a blatant lie
Pulling me into the darkness to cloud my vision
And yet here you are pulling me back into the light
With those eyes that burn brighter than stars

Author's Note

It's...a strange feeling I have. When I was young my parents told me his love was nothing but a lie to keep him out of trouble. But here we are, both grown adults, and he's risking everything just to see my face. It's a strange but amazing feeling to discover that love was true. That he meant every word he spoke. It makes it that much harder to stay away and that much more worth facing hell with him.

:) i don't even know what to say about this. i definitely liked the last line and how it brought something you mentioned earlier back into perspective and really made you think how much it meant even the first time. again with the integrated poem! or at least the line, but it's a poem in itself that's for sure :) you like doing that, don't you? very clever... you sly fox.
i agree with Mr. Williams, the 5th stanza was awesome. i think anyone who's been in absolute love or at least ridiculously twitterpated can relate to that. who cares what other people think or if that's really reality? i would much rather live in a world where i am head over my heels for someone who is head over heels for me than a world where i'm second guessing incentives and reading into nuances too much, etc.
doesn't that kind of remind you of childhood..? and i don't think i know a single person who doesn't miss their youth.
very very sweet poem, you nailed it. again. :)

A brilliantly penned piece, capturing the need, the fear and the light of true friendship and it's evolution into true love. This piece offers hope and enlightenment to those who may still be searching to find love's truth.

Great Ink!

absolutely amazing! left me speechless....great work...

for some reason i just loved the lines
"Everyone questions if I have lost my mind
If being sane means I have to lose you again
I would dwell forever in the land of insanity
As long as I got to hold your hand all the while"

keep it up!

There's not much i can say about this poem but i atleaset want you to know that i absolutely love it as a whole, but the fifth stanza hit home for me and sealed the deal. Great job and i hope you keep on writing
