A hug

Parties Over,
Here she comes again
Another friendly hug to give away.
Doesn't she realize what it does to me.
A foot away now, here it comes

Closed eyes,
Her hair smells of lavender
Like the mountain tops I climb towards
The coat soft, with a touch of burning warmth
Like the fire in my heart through a cold winters wind

We embraced,
I had reached the top of the mountain,
Top of the world, breathing in cool bliss and harmony
The warm breeze was soothing, endless beauty made me speechless

Her arms tightened,
I smiled and made mine do the same
The mountain turned into a house of security and love
A piece of heaven on earth filled my body and mind
I felt a lovers love and a comfort in growing old.

She loosened,
A shock of jolting pain hit me like a soul decaying virus
The house went into flames, mountain became a treacherous cliff
Underneath, a sea of lava with the tides rises every second and waves
of magma hitting the edge. Fumes intoxicating the air started to suffocate me

Arms dropped,
I opened my eyes. I turn so she can't see the tear that ripped out.
Knees shaking, back turned. I walked away breathing heavy, holding the misery.
Collapsing in the seat of my car I shivered and fluttered. I stayed in the car watching her go.
Trembling in the cold and fear I shivered till I sobered from this drug that is Love, that is her.

How long should a hug really last?

Wow. That's really sweet. I like the structure as well, for some reason it actually looks really melancholy.

Call me a safe bet, I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive, only hoping as time goes, you can forget

I really like the verse layout, how it begins with a small sentence.
really helps it flow imo.

Wow, I thought that was great. I agree with what light said about the structure of the stanza's. The way the lines change in length going down each stanza is something I haven't seen before (or at least can't recall it) and I think it works really well here.

Great subject choice though =D

Thanks guys I enjoy making the structure of the poem. I remember Edgar Allan Poe poem The Raven being in somewhat a similar stanzas but the first sentence of mine you be like the last but I just thought of that while looking at it outside the words.

Timmooo, I'm thankful you mentioned the subject of the poem because that is something I really want criticism about even if it's a really bad poem. I wanna know that what I'm writing isn't garbage and it actually says something.

Well, it's certainly saying something. For such a simple subject matter, you really manage to encaptulate a lot of emotion in the poem. Having a stanza about the feelings at each part of the hug really gives you that opportunity, I suppose :)

As far as your poems go that i've read so far the subject choice seems very fitting. You manage to make it work really well and I don't know if it's just me but the way I read it pulls out those feeling in me too though it could just be with how i'm feeling right now :P

Out of interest, and you don't have to answer this, but why did you start writing poetry?? Did you have any particular inspiration for it?? Did it just come to you?? Or did you sit down intending to write a poem??

Timmooo, you're amazing man. Uhm I don't really reveal what the inspirations or anything on why I write it, mainly because I guess I have no answer.
I think I told Light a long time ago that I try to take the persons perspective and view point in a situation and try to get the readers to understand what the poems and feelings are about. I think I discovered that I wanted to get into poetry was when I was in the 5th grade elementary school where we were supposed to come up with a poem about something. I guess I must've been 10ish and i wrote a poem (it's lost now T_T) It was about my family and my teacher and others loved it so much. She told me it was a gift I should never lose. maybe I have maybe not I'm not sure. I do love poetry though.

Every poem is different but I think I've made them all related to each other pretty well in my own schemes of things. I won't reveal much about my poetry but I can say that not all are the same in how they come to me. Some I can write in a mater of one sitting, one hour of thought, one simple purpose. Other times it requires more and sometimes it's still not enough. I have maybe hundreds of incompletes that I wanna try to reacquire but sometimes when I lose that purpose the entire poem just isn't good enough. I hope this helped Timmooo and made sense. I know it's not everything you were looking for. I think you've told the public more about me than you think. (which is great lol)
