Infatuation Poem by Heather Burns

Infatuation

Rating: 5.0


Infatuation is a
temporary emotion
ever fleeting as
a drifting cloud.

A tree developing buds
green leaves turn gold,
brown, finally a wind
blowing over them.

On the ground they lay
again engaged on earth
then they are gone.

Ever changing like the
seasons, warm hot cool
then cold.

Cool in Spring warming
up for the summer heat
passionately.

Now as the cool winds
of Autumn begin to blow
they tend to cool
preparing for the icy
chills of Winter.

So like a lady changing
her attire
putting on taking
off her make-up ever
changing
infatuation a temporary
emotion.

I love this one Heather. Infatuation is just a sweet fleeting moment of love. Its just like a bird that sits on a branch then quickly flies away. Hmm! I have to think whether I have ever been infatuated with anyone. Ha! Ha! . Enjoyed.

Infatuation is the immature form of love between the sexes! It is short lived, comes quickly like a wind and bursts out like a bubble! So never take it serious! Love this beautiful write! !
