Blush

A soft blush
creeps onto the face
awkward and timid
it attempts to convey
embarrassment, pleasure
in the most attractive way
it is shyly vain
almost unnoticeable - 
does it even exist?

A hard blush
is an explosion of emotion
conveying the extremes 
of anything
it spreads throughout the body
rampages the nerves
in itself
it is a profound expression
of the extremity of feeling
