The trapeze artist somersaults inside my stomach
Making my racing brain dizzy from the height
Just a look, a glow, a mesmerizing smile
That spills across the time between us
Fills my spirit with possibility and desire

The warm corona radiating from her intense eyes
Causes every sinew and vein to explode with glee
She leads my dreams back into the light of day
As an exquisite poem that touches your soul
A feeling unsought yet perfectly fulfilling
Like the road to a secluded primrose bay

You may only ever find in the blindness of night
It calms and nourishes; energizes and completes
As a peaceful day spent deep in nature's fraternity
The essence of love and purpose uncovered

The vile serpent vanquished
Penelope's loom set aside

The scent, the feeling, the taste
I want to box up the moment
Like a calculating child
Eating his last portion
Of chocolate cake
In tiny nuggets
Prolonging the
Sensation.
