Drawn To You...
I feel drawn to you,
Totally drawn by your wild and crazy ways -
Like a painter is to canvas,
Like windows are to curtains,
And a butterfly is to cabbage...
Like boxers are to punching,
A harmer is to cutting,
Hot dogs are to mustard,
And a dog who has his bone.
...Lost souls finding their way home
I need you like a river needs to flow,
A drug addict can't say no -
Like all the best-laid plans,
Like, I'd like to hold your hand.
Yes, I'm totally struck by your 'WOW' factor!
My heart sinks like a hot knife through butter,
As you distract me like no other,
Attract me like magnets stick to metal,
And when I sleep I cannot settle.
I want you like there's no tomorrow -
Licking ice cream in the sun;
Like a race that's almost run,
You make me feel like number one!
Like cheerleaders like to cheer,
An alcoholic needs a beer,
It's straightforward and quite clear -
I just really want you here.
Without you -
I am the sun without the shine,
A clock that doesn't chime,
The wind without a kite,
A balloon that's out of sight -
Someone who wants more,
The sea without a shore,
The Earth that doesn't spin,
...And a loser who can't win!

I'm happy for all the feedback I can get, to be honest, Dimpy. This one was written during a very intense time about 8 years ago when a Bohemian type poet almost drove me out of my mind, lol. Thank you for taking a look at this. :-)

... It is not, my friend, lol. My life often feels like that pop music track, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" by Irish rock band, U2.

I'd never thought about the neg/pos thing, to be honest. It just kinda wrote itself that way, really. Your astute observations are very welcomed. 😊

I was possessed when I wrote this thing. She was a lovely muse. I don't know where it came from. It just flowed out like this with everything I was feeling in that moment. That last critiquer you mentioned is showing up as 'anonymous' on my feed, lol. Thank you for your thoughts on this Tim. 😊

Aww I am late to make you feel any of these things. Maybe a pebble that is tossed and skipped along the shore, causing ripples you feel to your core. I love that you wrote this. Fia xoxo

Thank you Fia! Yes, I was never any good at skimming pebbles on the beach but my cousin could (you know the one who drew my picture, lol). He could get 3, 4 or 5 bounces out of them. It's all in the wrist action, you see & I never could do it. That still bugs me now, lol. I'm glad you found this one, even so. 😊

Can you believe it's not butter? I never came from an udder. You can be my lover. I hope you don't use rubbers. Yep, I'm hiding under covers. Let's get to know each other :)
