Playground Of Emotions
Her Love
Excitement like a kidÂ
when I saw herÂ
Her eyes caught mineÂ
like a shiny playgroundÂ
I felt just like a kid againÂ
with no worries at allÂ
My head spun aroundÂ
like a .... merry-go roundÂ
My heart beating hard like the strong .... chain bridgeÂ
My arms always reaching for hers .... monkey barsÂ
From the highest of highs and back down to earth .. slideÂ
Floating in her passion getting lost in the air .... swingÂ
Ups and downs , came and went .... teeter-totter
But what playground didn’t cause a couple scars
Well worth the cost compared to the laughter and happinessÂ
But I’m no longer a kid and she’s no longer mine, trapped....
jungle gym
She melted me and I fell through the gapsÂ
When the heartbreak took place the dream fadedÂ
I took back to my true identity , not that youthful boy anymoreÂ
But rather a hurting, sad , depressed and angered manÂ
The slide now a never ending hill, I have to fight upÂ
My life a merry-go round from hell spinning a 100 miles per hourÂ
The monkey bars close enough it seems obtainableÂ
However just enough out of grasp, I keep fallingÂ
Stuck down on the teeter-totter without her love to raise me upÂ
Love is a dangerous obstacle course and a playgroundÂ
All at once , forever changing based on the feelingsÂ
Every centimeter of the spectrum used to be safeÂ
But now all I see is DANGER
I felt so connected and acquaintedÂ
Now I look at this like a distant stranger, no longer feeling lovedÂ
anymoreÂ
Yeah she did a number , maybe I should’ve played saferÂ

Hi Shallow Waters, just wanted to pop in to say, what a fantastic poem. I especially enjoyed this sectionÂ
In my opinion, It really shows the chase and chaotic rhythm of the following of love. Deeply connecting write. I think we have all been hurt before. Though it makes us into the people we are today. Peace and smiles to you. This is one of the reasons I`m following you. Kind regards, The Fish of the SeaÂ
Thank you so much for what might very well be the very best comment I have ever received ! Your words are so inspiring and supportive . I found this site after going to another poetry one but it required to pay ..... but I’m so grateful for all the love shown and super impressed . I’m still learning how it all works but I’ll be honored to follow you my friend and read More of your work. I wish they explained more how this site works but I’ll figure it out .Â
Ahh, no worries! To be honest, besides writing poetry many poets on Cosmo (including me!) get a thrill out of reading and commenting on others work. You`ll find these waters very warm and without trolls! You can find the follow button to the right of any account name at the top of any poets poem. Unlike other poetry sites, like poetry hunter, there is no limit to how many poets you follow! (Though there`s no forced ethos that you have to follow other poets, its really chill :))
I`m shocked that you came from a site that required you to pay, I mean I have heard rumours of premium accounts from friends on PoetrySoup.com but to make you simply pay shouldn't be allowed... What was the site called again? Many poetry sites are owned by the same people so maybe there's an outlet there...
Anyway, glad you got a kick out of my comment. Perhaps to the extent, I got out of reading your work eh? Hope to catch up more soon!
Kind regards,
The Fish of the Sea

I never joined the other website but I think it was called “ all about poetry.com” I just know it asked for my debit or credit card and I don’t like to share that info to much . I’m actually going to start diving into reading others work more today and definitely start following you along with some others . Thanks for the helpful advice and your support .
Interesting, I couldn't find that site online but fair enough. Good choice not to give away credit card info. Well welcome to Cosmos! Sorry I haven't replied to your comment yet but thanks so much. I'm not the most active poet on this site... peace and smiles to you. Cheers for the follow! Kind regards, The Fish of the SeaÂ
