To A Friend

I see my reflection in your smile

Soft grey eyes beckon

My weak body cannot hold my breath

A warm scent rises

I breathe in deeply

The aroma intoxicates me

Cold acid flows through my veins

Fire and snow

Weakening my pulse

Little bits of lightning shoot up

I linger to see your back

Sound, straight yet surprisingly flexible

The warmth spreads

Fills my soul

Your easy, languid smile

Hair falls over smoothly

I am relaxed, at peace

My heart shivers
