A Fantastic Delusion

He Was Everywhere

And Music Played

Every Time we Locked Eyes…

For A Second I Thought,

He didn’t Want Me, And It Baffled My Heart…

Until I Saw Him Smile,

Confetti Fell From The Sky,

I Longed To Be Babyish,

Azure Filled My Eyes, And I Felt Like A Freshmen To Love…

I Was Visited By The Guardian Of My Pride,

And I Began To Glow Like A Firefly…

I Was Bold Like A Rocket,

I Became Gregarious…

I Reached For Him And We Ran Away To A Confident Place…

Like Fireworks, Love Burst Inside My Heart,

Spreading Beautiful Joy Upon My Facade…

Suddenly I Became Awake,

I Laid In Bed, And Wished To Go Back To Sleep…

    💖There is something about this poem that gives me goosebumps. The childlike, raw reveal of your feelings for this person had me enthralled. 💖The aposiopesis at "locked eyes" and "baffled my heart" made me hold my breath. I suddenly felt relieved for you, though I am not sure why I felt relieved for myself as well. It was as if I too had a crush. I have a crush on your poem! 💖"Freshmen to love" was one of your most silky smooth lines. The assonance had me grinning.

    I really love that "until I saw home smile //confetti fell from the skies// I longed to be babyish" bit. There's something so hopeful.

    Gorgeous work! This is the type of otherworldly writing that makes a skeptic want to take a chance on love! I love every bit of it fam fam! 💕🫶🏾

    The imagery of fireworks, confetti, and glowing like a firefly made me feel like I was inside the dream itself. Beautifully playful and vivid.
