Analysis of Is This Love I Feel?



Out of the blue
You came into my life
Through my loneliness
You cut like a knife

The attraction I feel to you
Increasing more and more
Is this love I feel
Knockin’ on my door?

A constant presence
There on my mind
Your beautiful face
With a smile I find

How am I to resist you?
Without a reason why
It really makes no sense
Foolish even to try

Strong at heart
I’ve always been
But weak to love’s call
As you pull me in

Could it be
Your heart calling to mine?
My response evident
As my heart glow shines

DanceOfThePoet'sPen

Guess you could say I'm a self taught poet. I started writing poetry as a means of dealing with the emotions of finding my Birthmother's obituary and grave site after searching for 10 years. I continued writing and over the course of the last 20 years I've become comfortable in how I write. You'll notice I tend to write a lot about nostalgia and old memories. Hey, when you round the corner of 60 years, you start thinking a lot about the past and where you've been. One of my subjects I write about is love, but I try to write of other things too. I've lived on the south shore of Massachusetts for all of my 64 years. But I love all of New England. Aside from writing poetry, I also love photography and have quite a collection of old antique cameras. Baseball, football, muscle cars and car shows are also some of my interests. Not too crazy about Winter. Spring & Summer are my favorite seasons. more…
