Nicotine Love by shaniadittee7
🎼A Favorite Song
( a Sonnet )
🎼A boy dropped in a dime and chose B2,
The bubbles in the juke lit up the place.
He grabbed his date & show’d me what to do,
I swayed with love’s abandon on my face.
🎼To hear our favorite song for the first time,
’Twas never meant to be the one we heard.
To dance w’ perfect guy in perfect rhyme,
I listen’d to, lip-syncing ev’ry word.
🎼The way he studied me in like was such;
He loved the way the music fill’d my dress.
We moved around without a single touch;
A curious reaction nonetheless.
🎼We often change the words of how it’s sung;
This song will always be our number one.

Our Special Place
Let me take you to a place
Where the sun touches down
A place where white sand covers the ground
Crystal blue waters
you can see straight through
A place where I can concentrate solely on you
Complete your fantasy, answer your wish
Put your mind at ease on heavenly bliss
Beautiful flowers as far as you can see
But my eyes are locked on you
Your eyes locked on me
A place with colorful birds and tropical fish
A place where only love exists
Let me take you to this place
This place was made for us
This place is our relationship
Built on love, respect and trust!
Where the sun touches down
A place where white sand covers the ground
Crystal blue waters
you can see straight through
A place where I can concentrate solely on you
Complete your fantasy, answer your wish
Put your mind at ease on heavenly bliss
Beautiful flowers as far as you can see
But my eyes are locked on you
Your eyes locked on me
A place with colorful birds and tropical fish
A place where only love exists
Let me take you to this place
This place was made for us
This place is our relationship
Built on love, respect and trust!

onto something
all these years you and I
patiently waited
for our senses
to grow sharper [1]
and ecstatically experience
each other
remember that boy
that demystified
love
as an infatuation
living in the dimensions
of neurochemical reactions
what happens
when these violent molecules
cease to shiver
and the chemical storm
subsides as dust
almost unnoticed
because these are the facts
we can’t ignore…
but as aware as I’m
about facts
scientific knowledge
engineered lifestyles
and that quiet desperation
the generation of our parents
designed for us to consume us
I took the choice
to be onto something
else
not there in the cold facts
but poetic facts we put
in place of material explanations
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart) [2]
is a vision
that transcends
into the animated pictures
of old couples
holding hands
and that funny feeling
when we look at those
with questions
and adoration
we can’t formulate
yet

what do you see?
I look at you
until you say “stop”
I look at you again
until unbalanced
you say “stop” again
I look at you once more
in attempt to memorize
these lines
that move me
you know
I notice everything
there to be revealed
or not to be revealed
I notice…
all details
turning this dream
into hyper realistic truth
I see
and tremble
at the thought
of turning my glance away
all those provocations
age
marital status
kids or no kids
my parents
your parents
her parents
I don’t even blink
confronting those
…but I notice
this feeling
relentlessly
preparing to engulf me
I sink
irreversibly in you
scared
shitless
what do you see
until you say “stop”
I look at you again
until unbalanced
you say “stop” again
I look at you once more

questions
my heart
don’t hush again on me
both my hands
on my chest
what good is love?
that no one shares
what good am I?[1]
as my spirit seeks
explores the movements
those tides towards me
covering my skin
with sensations
strength and weakness
rushing in
and then
reflux
out
away
leaving my voice
crying
within
craving those
warm torrents
to caress
and carry me
up
up
up towards the light
as lightly
as an autumn leaf[2]
where to?[3]
heaven
in the space
where my soul and spirit
possess you irreversibly
until the very thought of me
is making you wet
puts a smile
on your beautiful face
and suddenly
you like
everything about me
even desire to witness
the darkest moods
fucking my inner peace
shattered
weak
and vulnerable
asking myself:
to love
or
to be loved?

after i read all these poems, i've been reading your poems from past contests. the poems are incredible and truly bring forth the feeling of romance in my heart. You writers are truly amazing. it would be cool to reward such writing; maybe even with credited publications, credited circulations, prizes, or walls of recognition.
Sea of Roses
Dead Alive,
hero, or villain.
My veins pulsate!
People point towards us
Voices tell me things I'm not
I do not even know who they are.
Everything shuffles
Does it come from my head ?!
My baby, forgive me.
Look at my eyes
I need you to believe in love
Do not be afraid
I know I was a monster
I'm almost done with myself
As dark as I am
I know you like
My dark cat woman
I know you love
We are in a sea of roses
People point towards us
We seal a pact
WE ARE A DRILL!
We are in a sea of roses
People point towards us
We seal a pact
WE ARE A DRILL!
We are in a sea of roses
WE ARE A DRILL!
Sorry my english, i'm Brazil.
If anyone wants to hum, I thank those who send me.
This is dark, sickly, kind, difficult, act!
