Nanette Elefante Poems

When did it begin?
When those first sparks came through?
Is it when you came upon me suddenly, without warning?
...

I woke up alone one night, unable to think clearly what’s making me unhappy…
it was a night full of doubts, inhibitions towards everything…
Seems life is not so perfect for me…
...

Those words confuse me, I thought I knew what they meant;
Till I lose and won some and the one today is for rent.
A night, a week, a month or a year of misery;
Distinguish how extreme my feelings for you lead me..
...

4.

Walking down my empty streets, with no one walking but our memories;
I saw the glowing street lights, giving sympathy of what I feel;
Abused my mind with your undiscovered lies;
Raped my soul with your annoying vibes;
...

I thought love is a mirage of the mind,
it’s an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find.
Sometimes, we don't know what we are gazing at;
Seems our eyes are close, and buried deeply into lie,
...

I woke up yesterday evening:
Thick haze flowing through my face,
I’ve seen in a distance a man, vaguely whispering…
I asked; Excuse me, can I help you? ... And he just vanished away…
...

A stranger you were once, excitement cross the line
Countless moments made simultaneously;
Chat; laugh at things, self contagious stories
More time to know the truth of me, and outline who you are,
...

8.

As I entered that untamed tavern;
Can feel the beat of the approaching dance floor,
Ladies in slow motion, high heels that bring sexy illusion,
Cocktails name it; gives the revelation of the Dj’s mixture,
...

9.

I just stood still whenever you wave goodbye,
I was young then so no way to understand; why you always leaving me behind…
Grandma used to say, you’re far away to make a living…
To provide me with everything I need and better future to give;
...

On coffee breaks, seeing you right next to me,
Bumping with each other without us noticing one another;
One day we’ve met randomly, it is unbelievable how that night showed the way;
Non-stop conversations; dancing with passion;
...

The Best Poem Of Nanette Elefante

When Did It Begin

When did it begin?
When those first sparks came through?
Is it when you came upon me suddenly, without warning?


Is it when you teased me and said you fancied me?
Causing my world as I knew it to change into something... splendid
Two hearts began to fall in step with one another
like a song where the music and lyrics seem perfectly together.

Yet, I could hardly take you in at first,
so tense when I’m with you,
I was caught by shyly in your sweet words
Responding breathlessly and my eyes can’t look at you.

Oh, those wonderful days, those days with thrill
when every thought, every word we said
were filled with something, Intense!


Consuming our body and soul
with desire so willing, so sharp that the mind could
think only of being as one!

Just when did it begin?
Feelings of infatuation fell deeply
Deep as it can be, that goes on and on
unfolds into something...more?
Something real and honest
happiness of our own

Yes, there came a moment when this complicated heart
began to beat with a strange, yet steady rhythm
and, it was then that I knew...

That I once heart you ;)
