Spending all night;
Dreaming of you.
The smile on your face;
Similar to morning dew.
With every changing,
Season.
I m looking for a,
Reason.
Unable to concentrate;
Your words fill my mind.
Making it even worse;
While our fingers entwine.
With every changing,
Season.
I m looking for a,
Reason.
Can’t decipher whether love;
Whether infatuation.
Resting upon the desk;
Bright pink carnation.
With every changing,
Season.
I m looking for a,
Reason.
Hence moving on;
Embraced this notion.
Love towards you;
Has depth of an ocean.
With every changing,
Season.
I m looking for a,
Reason.
Looking for a ReasonΒ (revised version of 3rd May’15 poem above)
Amid soft whispers exchanged bold stares
I feigned not passion nor feigned I delight
Playing upon sweet lips distilled with dew
I dream of your smile in the hush of night
With every changing season
I’m (still) looking for a reason
Unable to concentrate as your words engulf
I gasp as rose and lily kissed amorous vine
Omitted paragraphs have embroiled sense
Making it even worse as our fingers entwine
With every changing season
I’m (still) looking for a reason
Oh can’t decipher whether love or infatuation
Perhaps I breathe what’s termed as lover’s sigh
Still poised upon bureau a crisp pink carnation
While in rustling conflict bluebirds fill the sky
With every changing season
I’m (still) looking for a reason
Now the heart can think of no greater devotion
Often a greatest triumph is a willing surrender
I figured love’s but sweet old fashioned notion
Cause love towards you has depth of an ocean
With every changing season
I’m (still) looking for a reason

A heart warming song. It reminds me of the: “he loves me he loves me not” scenario. The woman’s heart fluctuates between seasons.

A reason to stay or a reason to go? And yet, there is rarely reason in such an emotional decision.

I love the form, first of all, and how much depth you had added to an already lovely poem. The refrain is the perfect bridge between the stanzas. Nicely re-done, Sanaa!
Thanks Walter π so glad you liked it.
This is really beautiful. I love the repetition. Enjoy your infatuation- it’ll soon enough develop further or fizzle. Have fun!
Most definitely β€ thanks for stopping by π
Wonderful revision. The details that you have added, the sensory images, add so much to the emotional feel of this poem while the refrain continues a sense of reflection. Thank you for joining.
My pleasure Victoria β€ so glad you liked it π
The revised edition of this poem is so tight. Love the repeating lines between the stanzas. Gives an added poignancy to the sensuality of the poem.
Thank you kindly, Toni β€
Well done with the revisions like:
Unable to concentrate as your words engulf
I gasp as rose and lily kissed amorous vine
The format of the refrain also works for me.
Thanks for joining us Sanaa!!
Always a pleasure Grace β€ so glad you liked it π
Wow, what a torrent of wonderful responses. I’m glad to get in line to add my insights & praise. I prefer the revised version–the messages are clearer, reminding us that it can be hard work to build a bridge from lust to love, from honeymoon to mundane routines & respect. For me the refrains really enrich & enlighten the new one.
Thank you so much Glenn, as ever for your kindness and wisdom π
This lovely poem tickles the heart. the repetition works so well. π
Thanks Rosemarie π so glad you liked it.
I think I came too late – everyone else has said what I wanted to say. Romantic and passionate, as always. I like the revised version very much, it has a stronger shape that is enhanced by the insertion of ‘(still)’ in the refrain, which works so well in this poem. Have a wonderful weekend, Sanaa. Much love xx
Thank you so much Kim β€οΈ so glad you liked it.
Though I often prefer simpler poems, I love the lushness of your revised version and think it is a great improvement. I also think you have been visibly developing as a poet since I first started reading your work, and the revised version shows that β I think it is how you would write such a piece now, even without Victoria’s suggestions.
Thank you so much Rosemary π for everything β€οΈ
Love them both…the second version has changed a lot but the magic of the refrain of the first one remains the same here also…beautiful Sanaa…
Thank you so much Sumana β€οΈ so glad you liked it π
Now the heart can think of no greater devotion
Often a greatest triumph is a willing surrender
I figured loveβs but sweet old fashioned notion
Cause love towards you has depth of an ocean
Beautifully revamped Sanaa. Very much better!
