Sense Appeal


(c) 2004 Aire Celeste Norell


First your wit
Humanizing your icy sereneness
—I can drop my guard now
 
Next your scent
A spice lure of dangling hair
Caressing my back as you lean over me
—I want to breathe nothing else from this moment on
 
Then a tortuous climb
Up this bond that we’re building
Cultivating the roots of a life together
Interrupted by moments of heart-squeezing panic
As I look down from the heights and face the choice
—Do I trust you? Or am I completely crazy?
 
You know that my fingers want you
You know that my eyes want you
I ask for I love you’s ad nauseum
If you could taste my thoughts you’d know
—I sensibly choose to be with you for life
