Suddenly--By Connie Marcum Wong--United States

Suddenly

   Suddenly I was caught
In the whirlwind of you.
   Tumbling, tumbling...
My heart beating faster
   Flying, soaring into the heavens.
The universe in its vastness
   Swallowed me.
Your brilliance penetrated
   The darkness as a distant star
And I felt myself being pulled
   Into orbiting around you,
Eternally seeking to be eclipsed
   By your grandeur and beauty,
To be warmed by your nearness
   And kissed by your light.

      Thank you very much David. This poem is a metaphor dedicated to my husband who swept me off my feet. He is a Leo, hence my comparison of him to the sun. I appreciate your lovely comment. Aloha, Connie

      So happy you understood my poem Terry. It is a metaphor dedicated to my husband and our whirlwind courtship. He is a Leo, hence the references to the sun. I should have noted that below my poem. Thanks for leaving me a lovely comment. Aloha, Connie
