Breathless He Left Me

“Maybe love doesn't come from the heart. Maybe it's a psychic jolt that wakes you when you touch them, leaving you breathless.” Christy Johnson

Butterfly kisses and his breath upon my cheek.
Racing heart of mine. I could not resist as he
Enticed me with his gaze. Words he had no need to speak.
Anticipation peaked when that angel boy kissed me,
Thrilling me like I had not been thrilled before.
Heaven-sent was he, for he melted my heart.
Lavished with affection, I reveled in his ardor. 
Enchantment it seemed he practiced as high art.
Such a surprise it was that he had come my way.
So sweetly did he steal my breath away.

How time has flown since then. I think of how
Elation once whalloped me with a romantic WOW.

Love comes and goes. I’ll never know
Even now what happened to the young man who
Fed my soul with sunshine’s happy glow.
That all remains a bliss I cannot live anew.

Magical is breathlessness. Sadly, that feeling
Ends eventually, but how I long again to be reeling!

Andrea, I am swept off my feet by the majesty of this intensely evocative acrostic. A rippling cascade of iridescent images which remains on topic. A snapshot in time of emotions Finally thanks for your constructive as always review of Emotional Shrapnel. I worked hard on that as you said Howard
