Lover

It's a euphoric feeling
being in love,
if it were a color
it would be a brilliant red.
It goes straight to my head,
slowly rising like a bubble of air
from my feet,
to my knees,
to my stomach,
to my lungs,
to my brain.
My hands start shaking
and my heart races faster
then slower and slower
a calm like a warm wave of silk
My ears won't stop ringing
the world is still,
silent buzzing is all I hear
like voices under water.
Everything is glazed
in a halo of white light.
It feels so good to feel nothing
to fall asleep in the arms of the only one who cares.
