A first encounter, nerves nagging down my spine
The unanswered questions slowing my steps
The clouds parting to reveal glittery eyes winking
I walk quickly from the punchline
I've been here before... the something new
The strings are plucked, the melody familiar
Imagination curls my toes, fingers twirl my hair
My pace quickens through the dark streets
The spotlight follows close behind me
A smile escapes the corner of my mouth
As I remember a sweet anecdote of poetry
I remember the rush like a wave gliding sandy shores
Patience leaves me alone to feel the build
My cheeks are flushed with angst
Let me be swept, leave me open
Vertigo sets in, my balance is thrown
And I fall... slowly... sweetly... shamelessly...
I fall...
