Poetry Submissions, to cB news Options

[sadolakced acid]

hello poets!

the cB newspaper (letter, whatever) is looking to feature a poem (or two) every issue.

so: if you want us to consider your poem for featuring please:

1. Post your poem(s) in this thread
2. Post a link to the thread with your poem(s) (if you didn't make a thread already for your poem, then just say no thread)

please, no comments - if you wish to comment, click on the link to that poem.

please note that we are cannot feature every poem, and we may not be featuring the best poem; we also consider the emotion that the poem evokes, and if it fits with our publication. Poems submitted will always remain in consideration.

[*Tainted Euphoria*]

If Only

How is it that our brief encounter has branded an image of you in my mind, in my heart? Am I that much of a fool to let you get so close to me? I'm not sure if I have an answer to that.

I feel the proverbial spark beginning to burn and I don't know whether to fan it, or blow it out. It would seem to easy to brush this off and never speak to you again, wouldn't it? No matter how many times I tell myself that, I still find that I turn the corner hoping to see you there. I open my eyes seeing your face. I'm infatuated in such a way that it would be considered disturbing. It should disturb me, but it doesn't. I've begun imagining what life would be like by your side. I have yet to see your flaws. I have yet to hear your dark secrets, but for some reason, I don't think I'd care.

You've completely shaken my world. Demolished walls that I've spent years building. Smeared the blueprint that I had drawn up for my life. I'm enamored and I'm helpless to stop it. Please, my heart flutters a million miles a minute for
you. Don't kill it.
