Notes About The Poem

Hormones' First Howl

I sensed this feeling grasp me, undefined
         The instant that her lips had shaped a smile
               And when she spoke my name, it magnified
     To find its proper place within my mind

It seemed to center in my chest as warm
          Then radiating out, (quite quickly south)
               Thus energizing bone and flesh the same
     Completely hushing each intrinsic storm

It was a sense that I'd not known before
          An innervation daubed with impish hopes
               So with my tongue tied uselessly in knots
     The chaos in my head was howling ... "MORE!"
