where the sky and horizon meet

flowing
surging
surfacing

I  feel  it
the heat of emotions
spreading like a wild fire
taking over my face
you can hide a frown
you can gulp down tears
but you can never stop
the betrayal of flushed cheeks
tongue tied and overwhelmed
the splash of red
says it all
just breathe
I tell myself
saturated in my inner turmoil
and exposed for all to see


Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

~Gosh,...I know that you _just_ posted this, but I figured I'd grab one more read before running out the door, my, you have nailed this. How I scramble inside my head with these thoughts when this happens to me, it's so unavoidable, and you've brought it on the same. Wonderful work. *Peace. And thanks.

I know this feeling very well.
Some of us where our hearts on our sleeve for the world to see, (and play with) while others can hide theirs so far down, they can't even find it.

Really great write, on a subject I beleive all poets can relate to.

Poetic verse nestled in the warmth of my heart, reveals the sweet yearnings of my soul....

Liked this one! Funny thing about blushing, men do it too.   They will deny it, of course. ~hugs~

Spitfire~ hehe, there's always a "one more poem before I head out the door"    Thanks for grabbing mine!  And thank you for the sincere reply.  It's good to hear that I'm not alone, 'though I wouldn't wish the feeling on anyone!  *hugs*

A Whisper's Caress~ Woo..that's a mouthful (your name), but a pleasant mouthful   You are right that some people wear their hearts on their sleeves and others don't.  I don't know which I am yet.  I think maybe I'm a heart on her sleeve person in denial   Thank you for taking the time to read and ponder with me   *hugs*

Nancy~ hehehe, your reply made me giggle    Ramble away!  But yes, don't forget to breathe    *hugs back*

James~ Wonderful??  Naaah...not for me anyway.  I hate when I blush!    

Marie~ Hehe, so true!   Thanks for the giggle and hugs    *hugs back*

Marge~   well now look what you've done!    Your enthusiasm humbles me sweet poetess    Thank you for the smile, as always! *hugs back*

SH~   you stop    You're the worst for making me blush!  But at least it's the rosey blush of love which is really not a bad thing.  Just....blushy!    I love you too  

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too
