Love is blind!
As your arms wrap around me
I am warmed by the
Chill of your cold embrace
Suffocated by the
Emptiness of your kiss
Taken by the
Vacated look of your stare
Never embarassed by the
Fool I've become around you
Confined by the
Emotional hold I refuse to escape

Truly a gem, Blu.
It took me a minute to get this one, but after I read it over, it made a lot of sense. This is another good one Blu. I love that Bonnie Raitt song. Prince did a cover of it too.
I like both versions of the song. And I can truly relate this piece. I love how you're making the reader dig for the meaning behind what you're writing. Great work.
What can I say...short, sweet and simple. I think we've all been there too...either as narrator or the subject. I'm certainly guilty on both counts at times!
I have a similar poem somewhere how going through a sex on auto-pilot; sex as a routine or chore. I'll see if I can dig it out and dust ir down sometime!
love this!
