you make me want to
breathe if just to feel the cool air
cascading into my lungs,
filling them until tiny particles of
microscopic molecules come
flowing past my lips to speak the words

i love you.

simple as that, and yet therein,
there lies a heartbeat, lies the very
pulse of life, and i find myself
dancing to the tune of its cadence.

to feel you near me

sends ripples of passionate pleasure
and spikes of heated need, want,
shooting through the very veins
the lifeblood of you flows through.

you make me want to
dance in fire, if just to feel the flames
and know not one of them can
touch me the way you do.
heating me, inside out, until the
glow of you radiates from my countenance.

i need you.

simple as that, and yet therein,
there lies the very thing i live for
the very thing which brings me
the very purpose i seek.

the existential mysteries

all solved within the riddle of
how two beings can be so
perfectly and wonderfully matched.
can fit together as well as we do.

you make me want to
call out your name
plead for you, reach for you,
until nothing separates us
but the microscopic molecules
i exhale
only to take you in again.
