Like Lightening In My Veins

There are moments
 when love feels like flight,
 as though the air itself bends
 to lift us higher.

Your smile is not just light,
 it is acceleration,
 a rush that floods my body
 until I am dizzy with wonder.
 Every glance from you
 is electricity-
 not pain,
 but the spark of being alive
 in ways I had only imagined.

Euphoria is dangerous,
 a fever of the soul.
 It makes the ordinary miraculous:
 a shared laugh becomes music,
 a hand brushing mine
 becomes revelation.
 The world is still flawed,
 but through you
 I see it gleam,
 as though touched by divinity.

I fear this joy sometimes,
 its intensity,
 its sharpness.
 But what is love
 if not the willingness
 to surrender to the storm
 and let it remake you?

So I leap,
 I fall,
 I burn,
 I soar.
 For in your presence,
 every nerve sings,
 and I am made infinite.
