Breathless Poem by Practicing Poetess

Breathless

Rating: 5.0


I never knew a mere mortal
Could have that effect on me
You've turned my whole world upside down
And made my heart go spinning 'round
I pause to catch my breath,
And find it isn't there.
Your love has left me breathless,
A precious love, so rare.

At least once in a lifetime we'd all like this feeling. Especially when it's love involved.

Thanks, Ray! I don't know of too much else except love that could cause this feeling- - except possibly an extreme roller-coaster ride in a theme park! : -D

I pause to catch my breath, and I find it isn't there - cool way of describing love

Love can do the strangest things. But to be able to condense them beautifully and vividly into a poem, That is extraordinary to do, , , and you have done it so well too!
