Love On A Loop
Will there ever come a time that I am over you?
Where nothing again will remind me of you?
Where a full moon is just an astronomical event?
Where a cool- blue night only makes me grab a sweater?
And I am not inspired to run and find a paper and pen
to peck out my thoughts that begin churning up again…
and I no longer shiver as your specter passes through
and I no longer conjure you up when even I least expect it.
Love on a loop, you just seem to pass through my life so randomly
I’m in the mundane, when I‘m handed you… and you’re handed me.
and I am triggered by a scent, a song, a thought not even mine
and I have been taken over, full possession for just a limited series.
I’m that lady who doth protest too much, soon no one will believe me
they will walk to my house, twist their smiles, when they ask me
So are you finally over So & So who seemed to drive you crazy
We’re not actually sure if we should feel pity for you, or perhaps a bit of envy.

So nice poem Karima.
Thanks so much Freddie, for stopping by and so glad you enjoyed my poem. 🙏
You’re most welcome Karima.
Another lovely and poignant one, voicing those words over that music, all so fitting.
“ if we should feel pity for you, or perhaps a bit of envy. ” How the rest of us look at poets … lovers …
Smiling, thank you Dale for giving me that view:) This is a Blues thought, so had to read over a good one..like this one from my ex husband, Dan:)
Cuando has amado con intensidad y asumes que fuiste seducida hasta lo indecible, porque tu amado era la fuente de energía de tu vida, es difícil olvidarlo de un solo tajo. Bellísimo poema Karima. Tu voz, acompañada por la música, es una delicia a los oídos. Voy a dormir placenteramente después de este encuentro con tu alma poética. Buenas noche querida y admirada amiga.
Así es y otro poeta enamorado como tu, Manuel, lo entiende perfectamente:) Muchas gracias por mencionar la grabación y musica. Siempre intetno leer mi poema sobre musica que se siente “igual” en alguna manera y se lleva bién con mi letra y mi tema. Me alegro que te haya gustado como lo combinaron los dos:) Abrazos mi gran amigo!
Nice poem.
Thank you so much for listening to it:):)
This poem is incredible, Karima. Your words are like a blues song themselves. Love on a loop, indeed…
Thank you so much Ritish for listening to my poem (and yes it is like a blues song:) So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for leaving your welcome comment too:)

Awww soulkin when we were young we were so prone to love and suffer for love too 🙂 but better than to have never loved at all. as they say:) ❤️🤗🙏💕♥️🌹
👍🏼❤️
This is a lovely poem, Karima.
Thank you so much Kymber for visiting my blog and listening to my latest. I am so glad you enjoyed my poem. I appreciate your comment too:) 🌹
oh for those we’ve loved that continue to live in our minds and hearts and Love on a loop conquiers up those triggers, the smells, the chill in the air and even that sweater you talk about. I love this last line.
“So are you finally over So & So who seemed to drive you crazy
We’re not actually sure if we should feel pity for you, or perhaps a bit of envy.“
The gift is in the memory and how lucky you are to savor those moments that brought you so much joy. A wonderful nostalgic poem, Karima! You love better and deeper than so many know is possible💕🫶🏽💗 and that is a gift of a lifetime❣️
Ahhh my romantic Pisces sister in love…I adore your comment We have discovered over the years of reading each other that we share a built-in perchance for romance and nostalgia:) My grandmother told me when I was 14 and she took me to Europe, that she didn’t regret anything she did in her life, but she did regret the things she left undone. That made such an impression on me, I think that was how my life-plan took shape too…
and to this day, I can say her very same words:) You are right..at this last stage I rerun my memories and feel so blessed to have so many where I truly loved:) Thank you Cindy for feeling this poem with your own nostalgic heart!!♥️🌹🤗💕
Absolutely loved the poem 😊
Thank you so much for reading it/listening to it and letting me know Pooja. I’m thrilled you loved it🌹
It was my pleasure 💕
we always return to poetry (& other poets) to evoke the wordless gift of hinting at the inexpressible❤️💞❤️😘
Ahhh so true…and speaking of, I’m on my way to revisit you and your hinting words for the inexpressible soulkin 🥰
Gorgeous piece! ❣️
Aww thank you Layla, so glad you enjoyed it 🙏
I love it!
Awwww that’s great Dawn!!! I’m so glad you do:):)
