Salutations and Nerves
How strong my fist
As I clench it
To plug the flow of feelings
That creep from my heart
Like molten lava
Burning my stomach
Filling my blood
Till I have no sense of anyone
But you.
But I crave that heat
That kicks my body into gear
Makes my heart gasp
Then run and run
Leaping and singing
Stopping in front of yours and
whispering a breathless,
"Hello."
