all together
at once
it happens
every sense
heightened
and sensitive
a welcome
overwhelming
showing you colors
you’ve never seen
a warm breath
in your ear
sends a bolt of
electricity
down your spine
and out to every tip
of you
soft lips on your
neck
draw bumps on the
skin
sounds with perfect
tones
flood the heart with
blood
and it may just pound
right out of your
chest
sweat tastes
sweet
scents embrace you
and you feel
so alive
it’s almost too much
but it’s just enough
there is no fear
there is no hatred
no thoughts
of yesterday
or tomorrow
only
beauty
freedom
pure life
true love
better than any dream
could ever be
more intense
and wonderful
than you ever thought
you could know
and although
we could live
forever
in these moments
we all must go home
and as we head back
to the valley
to the static of life
that time creates
we are left
with the truth
of knowing
that this feeling
exists
and the romantic hope
that we may
someday
feel it
again
…
