The Title Speaks For Itself

The Greatest Feeling

The Greatest Feeling

 

 

 

I’ve discovered that there’s an amazing feeling that exists out there

 

It’s a feeling like no other it’s the greatest and most rare

 

 

 

There’s nothing else quite like it or that can even compare

 

The fact most will never know it is extremely unfair

 

 

 

We journey through this thing called life usually alone and unaware

 

That there might be someone who truly gets us that with we can share

 

 

 

Many times we fool ourselves wanting this or that believing they care

 

Only to find out in the end we are left alone in our despair

 

 

 

But if and when you feel that feeling and you know it’s there

 

The look in each other’s eye when you really know it share

 

 

 

The Feeling that over comes you is beyond all compare

 

Knowing you’re understood and not alone feels so very rare

 

 

 

 

 

The unspoken understandings and the personal things that are there

 

The little secrets you have that of everyone else is unaware

 

 

 

That feeling of connection and the strength that it helps you share

 

Makes everything else in life small no matter what you bear

 

 

 

The feeling that someone gets you and beside you is always there

 

That’s truly the Greatest Feeling nothing else can compare

 

 

 

Even if it doesn’t last forever embellish it while you’re there

 

Because when it’s gone your heart will surely tear

 

 

 

You will search for it because without it now life is hard to bear

 

You don’t know how you lived without it before is unfair

 

 

 

You may even loose a little of yourself totally unaware

 

That you truly had a small piece of heaven that you got to share

 

 

 

 To find it again never you will most definitely swear

 

Destined to roam alone again your heart you wish to spare

 

 

 

 

 

Scared to trust that the feeling was even really there

 

To imagine it could happen again is difficult when it’s so very rare

 

 

 

The simple truth in all of this in love all is fair

 

You take a chance with your heart every time you care

 

 

 

But to feel the Greatest Feeling you must always beware

 

The Best of Life comes when you find someone with to share

I love this poem, hough the rhyming scheme jars the nerves a bit. The couplet scheme contributes to the clarity of this poem. The theme is smoothly developed , the rhythm flows like oil on water............LOL. A guitar and a good singer are now needed. For clarity and immacculate couplets, my rating is 10.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
