Maybe how you jolt my heart with a single touch
Maybe how my heart cease when your hand goes off Maybe how you ease my demons with your stare Maybe how they grieve when your eyes goes off Maybe how you lift my burden with your presence Maybe how I can't lift the dead weight when you take off Maybe I'm under the influence of marijuana Maybe, these are my compulsive emotions for you Lanko, Joeseph Jiya is a Nigerian writer and this poem is a submission received from the July 2017 SLM 1 year anniversary poetry contest.

I like the second stanza. He and his demons are both recipient of the feels.

It's a beautiful piece. It resonates with the uncertainity that comes with love. The last stanza sums it up correctly

Just maybe we will find someone who has this effect on us or maybe not

I understood the general theme of the poem-feelings that can't be controlled. But I feel the rhythm is off, with just the last line from the last stanza holding the whole piece together.
