Love - First poem post!

[ilovewomenandbeer]

Raw emotion unbounded
In it's purest form
Vulnerable in it's nature
A force compelling yet intangible
This certainty at it's peak
I no longer wonder what of the core of my individualism
Free of adversity
As I am ripped open, it pours out of me
But I welcome this with a smile
Drained from my anatomy and soul
I feel no hindrance
No shadow of regret
My feelings in absolution



This poem came to me with a struck of creativity from my actual personal feelings for my lover. Love is so unique that it is untaught but naturally understood. No one is taught how to love someone. There may be examples by already married couples however love comes in so many different forms, routines, and practices. It had to start from somewhere. Sure, sometimes I need validation that I am doing the right thing. Love can possibly take form in negative ways; jealousy, possessiveness, bitterness, etc. However the love that I experience retains a positive undertone, only ever in the best interest for the person my heart beats for. The fact that the feeling can manifest from my nervous system to physical form. A shiver up the spine, a tingle in the pit of my stomach, a skipped beat of my heart, it can seem so surreal. That is how I know this love is true.

I like the emotional direction of this poem and the focus on vulnerability and inner feeling. One thought I had while reading is that sometimes it might be stronger to signify the love rather than explain it.

Your poem often tells us what the emotion means, but the moments that feel most powerful to me are the ones that simply suggest the feeling. 

sometimes i like to think just letting it exist can make it feel more raw and real.

For example:
Raw, unbounded
Vulnerable in nature
Its compelling intangible forces
Inevitable peaks
One’s individualism’s wondrous core
Free of adversity


when i read it your poem had a mythical tone to it, i hope i provided some insight.
