Passion emboldens me,  
a temporary elixir

I rush, thrilled;  
my veins fill thickly with  
the thought of you:

Your eyes, holding my gaze,  
filling my mind with  
spears of scalding iron;

My memory flooded with  
your presence  
remade, revived intangibly,

My body reels helplessly,  
retreats needfully  
from this vision

To await you  
To connect with you  
To search for you  
To find you

And the moment comes so suddenly,  
every muscle in my body  
tensing, aching, ready,  
poignantly poised for

Your touch  
Your gaze  
Your appraisal  
For you...

Then, you appear....
