I.
a heart engaged
without a ring
scored with measures improbable
when touched
by incandescent flame
the certain seems impossible
a supernova in my chest
and unprepared
my senses reeled
leaving me bereft
of space
to hide in anonymity
one touch, one look,
a burning sear
that took my very breath away
unwitting your sorcerer's spell
has breached
my abandoned gateway to infinity.
II.
To fall and become
For the sake of love,
Yet missing the human connection,
Is the woeful gift
Of the girl in woman form
Yet to bloom from her
Mind to her heart.
Denied thus far
The bursting of flame
Through touch more than surface,
Dormant eros congealed
In practicality pumping daily
Unused blood through
Unenlightened muscle.
The smallest prick of
Sharpest gaze becomes
Bewildering flow of feeling,
Unable to be staunched
With usual thought
Gray matter deserter
In war unwinnable.
The dam broken, thank God,
Can never thus be repaired
Gratitude quells abandonment,
For finally, though seemingly left alone,
The physical understanding of connection
Explodes into a certainness
Of possibility.
