AND YOU SMILED

A look across the room. 

Sizzling. 
I smell my skin burn. 
Smoke in my eyes. 
I can't see right. 
Then I see you turn. 

And you smile….. 

The sun in my eyes. 
Blinding light. 
Straining to breathe.
Wingless flight. 
An abyss of shadows. 
A mountain of delight. 

My heart rolled over. 
It burst. 
Cascades of thoughts. 
Ages of thirst. 

Blown up into smithereens. 
Ecstatically alight. 
Heavy with a longing 
Yet weightless in flight. 

In reposeful tumult 
I vaporize.

I am unscrambling.
You watch my plight. 

And you smile......
