"Pillow Talk"

Shhh.

I'm going

to tell you

a secret.

Our dance

left me

transcended,

blind.

You lifted me

so high,

the only way

to live

was fall.

The plunge

raised your voice

to me.

I heard you

for the first time

clearly.

And what you said...

Shhh.

I'm going

to tell you

a secret.

"I'm going

to break

your heart."

  1. beautiful poem with a painful ending.  Kinda took me by surprise.  

    Glad you're back...we missed you.


  2. Shhh...you have learned the secrets...

  3. Oh, Boy!  "I love you" "Don't love me I'll break your heart."

    Hard to believe, Ah yes.

    Interesting written words, you have penned.

  4. this is when they kiss right? :)

  5. we are not captive birds. even broken hearts can fly out of a free fall..

    good work...

  6. The title is not good, because it implies this lyric is half a dialogue, while clearly the `you' the poem addresses is the reader, or the speaker herself in monologue, not the other dancer.  

    If a literal interpretation of this poem was intended, it is a confusingly layered `now you know I know you know' poem, which I don't think you desired to write, as it certainly is not what makes any particular impact.

  7. The last 3 lines are a kicker.  Such freedom, joyfulness and pleasure - to be ended with a warning of untold pain. How cruel of person to be doing this to their admirer. ♥

  8. This is a charming, then alarming poem.  The changes in tense make it all the more poignant and painful.  This heartbreak seems to be unavoidable because you have already fallen (in love) in the second stanza.  The end hurts.  The end always hurts.  This is truly evocative writing.  Thank you.

  9. wow different great

  10. This reminds me of a statement by N.Y. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. It was something like, "To be born Irish is to know that one day the world will break your heart."
