Love Poem: Puppy Love

Puppy Love

Watching your hand slide furtively into hers, 
I remembered how awesome puppy love feels 
Your cheek pink with flushes, the fleeting rushes, 
That feeling inside your stomach, when the purrs 
Resemble contented kittens sleeping sound. 
Meaningful secrets unspoken, quick whispers, 
Forbidden notes exchanged in history class 
Sweetest sentiments expressed in hasty verse. 
When she is near your heart whirls in dancing reels, 
The fleeting rushes, your cheek pink with flushes, 
And everything else in life is merely blurs.
