It was the startling with you br from the nascent look br and unspoken electricity br a leaping across br an unexpected grabbing br of me at my center br a caught unawareness br a swept away br where the instant br stretched for an eon br from handshake to hello br a weakening in the body br a trembling in the knees br in the most vulnerable parts br of the soul; br a shuddering br in parts below br a cry from long nights br laments br and longings br a stifling of the desire br to consume and be consumed br by you and to consume you br ravenously br completely br and we both be gone br away. br br That my love br is how it felt br when we first met br and still when we kiss.
