Playground Of Emotions

Her Love

Playground Of Emotions

Excitement like a kid 
when I saw her 

Her eyes caught mine 
like a shiny playground 

I felt just like a kid again 
with no worries at all 

My head spun around 
like a .... merry-go round 

My heart beating hard like the strong .... chain bridge 

My arms always reaching for hers .... monkey bars 

From the highest of highs and back down to earth .. slide 

Floating in her passion getting lost in the air .... swing 

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 happiness 

But I’m no longer a kid and she’s no longer mine, trapped....
jungle gym

She melted me and I fell through the gaps 

When the heartbreak took place the dream faded 

I took back to my true identity , not that youthful boy anymore 

But rather a hurting, sad , depressed and angered man 

The slide now a never ending hill, I have to fight up 

My life a merry-go round from hell spinning a 100 miles per hour 

The monkey bars close enough it seems obtainable 

However just enough out of grasp, I keep falling 

Stuck down on the teeter-totter without her love to raise me up 

Love is a dangerous obstacle course and a playground 

All at once , forever changing based on the feelings 

Every centimeter of the spectrum used to be safe 

But now all I see is DANGER
I felt so connected and acquainted 

Now I look at this like a distant stranger, no longer feeling loved 
anymore 

Yeah she did a number , maybe I should’ve played safer

Hi Shallow Waters, just wanted to pop in to say, what a fantastic poem. I especially enjoyed this section 

My heart beating hard like the strong .... chain bridge 
My arms always reaching for hers .... monkey bars 
From the highest of highs and back down to earth .. slide 
Floating in her passion getting lost in the air .... swing 
Ups and downs , came and went .... teeter-totter

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 Sea

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 .

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 Sea
