Salutations and Nerves

How strong my fist 

As I clench it 

To plug the flow of feelings 

That creep from my heart 

Like molten lava 

Burning my stomach 

Filling my blood 

Till I have no sense of anyone

But you.

But I crave that heat

That kicks my body into gear

Makes my heart gasp

Then run and run 

Leaping and singing 

Stopping in front of yours and 

whispering a breathless,

"Hello."
