Falling in love again
66
I'd crept into the deepest darkest place,
Where life and love no longer saw my face.
My heart was cold, my very soul was dead.
My only solace, memories in my head.
You came to me and caught me unaware,
And unprepared, I fell into your lair.
I struggled as you crawled into my mind,
Afraid of what your loving me might find.
And as I stayed resistant to your touch
You never turned away, instead t'was such
an oh so gentle nudging at my soul
that woke me with your ever sweet cajole
'Til finally I melted in your arms
Unfolding as a child would, free from harm.
I gave myself completely, so beguiled.
A whole new world had opened when you smiled.

The essence of love in all its glory!
Invictu Wow! Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the poem. Just getting started with poetry.

alekhouse, if this is just your beginning of wriring poerty, you are a natural! This poem is Magnificent! :)
And, again, thanks for the support. Guess I'll keep on writing them.
I love the title of this poem, and the poetry is very artistic.

Brenda: Wow, All these years and I didn't know I was a genius. You just made my day! Thanks for commenting
This is really good Alekouse, the best poem I've read on this site today, and I've read a few!
Wow, Cindy, Really appreciate the thumbs up. Glad you liked it. Guess I should try a few more.
Ditto for me, Alkehouse. I found the title very intriguing. The sentiments expressed in the poem itself very familiar. So hard to let love in the second (or third) time. Much easier to stay closed and hardened. Love the "melted" imagery. Lovely. More, please!! MM
it is so nice to get all of this support from the community. it really makes it all worth while. Well.......... I'd probably be writing anyhow, but it's so much better when someone responds. Thanks so much.
Great imagery, and such familiar notions - I could really relate. Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic job!
Thanks, Roobee, for taking the time to come and read my poem. Very much appreciated.
Beautiful, it made me sad and happy at the same time.
Well, thanks Hugh. I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for the comment about my avatar. I will go back and look at the bear attack hub comment you made. Sorry I did not respond, I thought I had. I really like your poems by the way.
Thanks for the nice comment, SP, glad you like the poems
The title to this poem is so apt as it really unfolds to reveal what it speaks of... Nicely done! Thanks for sharing :D
Disarming and sweet, captures the feelings and misgivings quite well.
Cris, Thanks for the comment. A question: which do you think is harder to write, prose poetry or rhyming poetry???
NT: Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my stuff.
Just a good poem...so true too...love it!
Thanks for the comment. And glad you loved the poem.
What a beautiful piece, loved it! And such good encouragement to others to dare, one more time, in spite of feeling burned out emotionally, to love once again, discovering they can now rest in the loving. Thank you for the word treat! Blogging this on over to my poetry blog for everyone else to enjoy too! Thanks for writing it.
Denny, Thank you for the great comments. I visited your poetry blog. Didn't have time to stay long, but will definitely go again.
alekhouse, I'm just beginning to read your hubs, and I can't stop. This is a beautiful poem, another one of my passions is reading poetry. Beautiful, beautiful!
Thanks for the nice comments. I didn't see any of your poems yet. Have to go back and look again. Love poetry. BTW, there are really good poets on hubpages. Check out Frieda Babbly, Am I Dead Yet, and Cris A.
I echo Denny's comment and would like to add how beautifully you captured that moment of awakening out of a long-held and protected resistance..."And as I stayed resistant to your touch / You never turned away, instead t'was such / an oh so gentle nudging at my soul / that woke me..."
Thumbs up! You have a new fan.
Thanks, ST, really appreciate the great comment...so supportive. And thanks for becoming my fan.
great poem. I like it. It's %100 our right to falling in love again. But for someone who get married...think twice to falling in love again.
You are so right. Thanks for the comment.
I am happy for you ALek, thankyou for writng it down and sharing this way. It adds light to the joy when we can open our feelings to others. Poetry Rocks dosn't it?
Hey Alekhouse this is such a cool, cool poem! You are a very talented lady!
@trooper: This poem actually has nothing to do with me; it's pure imagination
@cindyvine: Thanks for the nice comments, Cindy....very much appreciated
Very nice poem, and very appropriate with Valentine's Day!
Thanks SP. Glad you enjoyed it
I like it! It expresses the spectrum of feelings. The lines I love best are:
"I struggled as you crawled into my mind,
Afraid of what your loving me might find."
Thanks, Nellieanna. Glad you liked it.
Great stuff,all love can be so fleeting, no? But what great writing material......
Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the poetry.
Well done!
The knack of writing poetry still evades me, but I'm working on it.
BTW, I lived on a farm in Casey County Ky. for a few years. Beautiful country. I miss it.
Yes, Kentucky is a beautiful state. With the poetry, it's not a knack, it's a skill. You have to first let it flow, then go back and tighten it, infuse it with imagery and make sure it has rhythm and cadence.
Perhaps I'd be better off sticking to what I do best...fiction and short stories. :-)
Nothing wrong with that...:=)
very romantic title and very beautiful poem
