My First Crush Poem by Valsa George
My First Crush
In the sea of faces I saw a face
All in a haze, so filmy
Nothing did I see clearly
But a pair of love lit eyes
Riveted on me
My heart skipped a beat
Did my face grow pale?
Or got coloured by a blush?
I lowered my eyes
And looked away
But I saw him advancing
Coming straight to me
My heart began to race
My breath got hitched
My lips went dry and parched
I didn’t hear what he asked
Words got stuck in my throat
When they came
They came out broken and raspy
I felt as if struck
By congenital paralysis
Unable to move my facial muscles
Either to utter a word
Or curve my lips into a smile!
Felt butterflies in my stomach
A tremor took over my hands and legs
Beads of sweat appeared on my brow
My mind went blank
The world came to a sudden halt
Forgot where I was
I got frozen in time
This is how I felt
When I had my first crush!
Not knowing the futility of adolescent yearning
For long, I juggled with his unspoken words
“I L….O….V…..E you!
the poem is powerful and charming... the strong yet tender feelings; kind of grow on one... going on and on with no end in sight...almost welcome....just like the real thing a superb effect has been created by stressing on the feelings written from..that unique perspective... ;) lovely liked

In reading this poem I am suddenly overwhelmed with memories of my first crush, and my feelings of love sickness that plagued me when I was near her, that sense of aching I could never describe. I think you have perfectly articulated those feelings down for me in more tender words Valsa. A ballad for all first crushes! . You could have been my Sara!
