Click hereI stand quietly,
waiting,
my heart noisily beating,
heard only by my ears,
already straining
to hear the sounds of your arrival.
My eyes constantly scan the sea of faces,
when you suddenly appear;
my heart,
my soul,
my life -
all light up,
are refreshed and overjoyed
at the sight of you.
Outwardly,
I am calm,
my usual self.
Inside...
I churn,
I boil,
I sing.
I am with you.
First read through wasn't good for me, but then I realized that was because I hadn't devoted all my attention to it. The second read was a very different story, though. The words, few though they may be, had enough umph! to make me slow down and really pay attention to the picture they painted.
As for the forbidden part, I love the composure at the end, insinuating a secret or something held so dear it isn't (for whatever reason) public. Despite boiling and churning, the outside world is unaware of the storm within. I love that. Love is often tastier when kept to oneself and savored.

tendril vine descending of witty and touching words~
very nice poem~
and touching. I know this jumping-up-and-down-inside feeling and your words expressed that energy beautifully. Thank you.
The word "noisily" is a little jarring, but otherwise I like your word choice and sentence placement on the page. A neat little gem, which I'm sure many will savor!!
