Denial
by joetwo
I am in Denial
That I have feelings for you
In Denial that I miss you when you go
That I am overjoyed when you return
I deny that your touch makes me tingle
That each peck on the cheek means something
I flat-out reject that I would be nothing without you
That you complete me
That I find a new-found purpose with you
I will be in denial when I go down on one knee
I’ll deny the joy I feel when you say yes
And only when I say “I do” will I turn and say
“You might be on to something there!”
Once again you blow me away with your writing!
Thank you Deana
Aw, I love it….
Thanks!
I love this poem.
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you liked it.
Again I am drawn to your talented pen joe. This is a copacetic piece evocative of a typical masculine reaction of disbelief at being so fortunate. What fools we can be! I am forced by an ancient decree of Minerva to deduct 1 point for the cliché and another for trying to resell me a word in Line 9, leaving you with a mere 98% mark in my book.
Gosh! I apologise! I hang my head in shame.
Beautifully written and expressed, Joe, and just fyi, line 10 sb “on one knee” instead of “no” if I’m not blind…
Thanks for that! I can’t believe I keep missing these things!
I’m glad you weren’t offended, Joe, and if you ever see any on my blog, please let me know, too. It happens, sometimes we just need another eye…:)
