I'd say keep writing, go with it <img src="http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Everytime is really good, I like it, I like the way you have formless verses but this line keeps coming back, the constant and inconstant mixing...you definitely set up intrigue about the situation in your description, it's good that you don't tell us too much about this other person, that s/he is as much a mystery to the writer as the reader.

But as a general rule I feel horribly emotionally exposed in poems But for some reason that's all gone to hell and here are two suitably nauseating poems for all to 'enjoy' =P This one's a thought process I have far too frequently related to an arse of a situation lol <a href="http://shes-so-1970s.deviantart.com/art/Everytime-88382108" rel="nofollow">http://shes-so-1970s.deviantart.com/art/Everytime-88382108</a> Everytime Everytime There is A bustling street A bridge Pavement blinding in the sunlight Look up Dazzling blue Perfect Were I not traipsing round town As it is I'm hostile Ruffled Aching with lethargy Colours flit past me Some fresh and bright Others worse for wear Like my own And as my feet drag along the ground Wearing my soles thin And my vision is blurred by my watering eyes And as I feebly flex to fight the grooves in my fingers, courtesy of the summer shop One of the colours catches my eye Everytime I pass the bags to my companion, signalling them to wait I blink away the blur Begin to cross the crowd Keeping that rare hue in sight On the back of a head, which waves goodbye To 'just another colour' Allowing me a glimpse, of a familiar profile But it is just a glimpse As it stares out across the river And I warily approach And as I do, I pick out all the things, I associate with you It's all the same But I don't trust I stand, inches behind, and mumble your name Just loud enough that your ears may find it Even now I don't know what I expect Reaction or indifference? Both thoughts scare me So as I let go of that final sound, my mind is humming Buzzing with indecision The possibilities were always there And you turn Miraculously, you turn Everytime I feel your eyes flit over me Tear into me Because mine are doing the same I drink you in in an instant Smilingly catch my breath And see my expression reflected in yours Your hands, cold on my burning cheeks I blink in slow motion My heart skips a beat I gasp and my eyes open Blearily Onto the white ridges and grooves of my bedroom cieling My pulse and mind races to a standstill Everytime Aaaand this one pretty much speaks for itself, and blatantly related lol <a href="http://shes-so-1970s.deviantart.com/art/I-ll-Relive-Time-In-Your-Mind-87759625" rel="nofollow">http://shes-so-1970s.deviantart.com/art/I-ll-Reliv.....d-87759625</a> I'll Relive Time In Your Mind I'd love to walk through this village with you See the baffled faces I've known for years Break the usual sight Out of the windows of those too observant On a weekday afternoon Walk these streets, well known to me And tell you tales And all there is to know about this place that's been my home For sixteen years now Grass and fields and bricks and tar But on the inside that little bit more Which I'd like to show you Open that secret door, and let you in But not until I've heard your impressions Outsider view And I'd like to see the ruddy faces of the ones who mock me For my boyish looks For stepping out alone For giving up my seat For buying into culture And choosing the backstreets over the main stretch Yes I'd love them to see me with you Walking Talking Laughing Side by side Through the winding ways of my home town And they could stare until the light burnt out their eyes for all I care Because then I'd know exactly what they see in me You.
