Breathless
My heart beats upon ear drums,
With a rapid rabid thump.
I pulse and swell but can not tell,
My body crumples to a slump.
I feel the touch of your fingers,
And slack down weightily.
My mind reels the moment in,
As you are kissing me.
I feel as though time is frozen,
The room begins to spin.
Without hessitation for my weakness,
You take my breath again.
