Unspoken Affections: Part-VI

The Story Behind the Lines

I was inspired to write a poem about the moments that one can have with someone they like while they're on a ferris wheel ride. So i wrote this as a poetry prompt on November 12, 2024, when i was about to head in the fair but couldn't. Anyways, i still wrote this based on the little idea that i had that day and i'm glad that i did. This poem is not inspired by anyone but in fact it is part of a story in my head that i will share someday. This poem is about the conversation that our eyes have with someone we fancy in such a solitary environment when it is just the two of you.

Unspoken Affections: Part-VI

looking into your seraph eyes

ferris wheel had put us high

being lifted up in the air

but with you it felt safe and divine

lights from the ground reaching the sky

we had the world below our feet

with no one to tell who to love

we held each other close before the fell

mesmerized by the look in your eyes

i wanted to whisper a secret

exhilaration hit us soft and sweet

so the fall felt haunting and divine

put away desertion in that moment

the moment of beauty in your charm

we both screamed at top of our lungs

and shared our secrets before the rise

What does this poem means to me?

For me this poem is one of the meaningful ones that i have wrote with the idea of someone in my mind who is the idea that i have talked about in a poem called "The Idea of You". This is the same story but in a different universe where the two characters are far despite being too close to each other, sharing the same space above the city lights while that poem was just about my idea of somebody that i have. I can talk for hours about this, about this feeling that is so close to be achieved yet so far in reality. I penned this poem because of the idea that came in my mind and i could feel and see everything happening in that exact moment in my mind.

The line that i find myself to like the most is "put away desertion in that moment", even though i wrote that. This line explains the feeling and fear of losing someone to fate or to somebody, The speaker has the fear that their new muse will also leave them and even though he knows about it, he chose to put the fears aside and feel every possible emotion in those fleeting moments that will forever stay with him in his memories.

What do you think?

have you ever felt the same as this poet or if i must say the speaker? i wanna know your thoughts. so make sure you leave a comment under this post!!
