Excitement bubble up inside me,
It's like I drank a bottle of champagne,
as your kiss make me close my eyes
to the harsh sights and sounds the world is offering tonight.
As your hand touches mine
all the world slants and shifts
and all the words on the tip of my tripping tongue
stall
strangle
shiver
& fade into
U S E L E S S N E S S
nothing in the world compares
to the feelings of confusion
and surprised joy
that you give me.
Every time I see those lips,
for the rest of my life,
I'll taste you-
Coffee, and minty gum,
and your own special taste, like spicy chocolate.
Tonight I'll borrow your arms & chest
as a pillow and blanket.
& I'll listen to that heartbeat of yours,
that tells me,
I'm still alive
