You leave me breathless
questioning
wondering which way is up

and I've never known two lips
against mine could have such an impact
on how I see the world or how it sees me

for one moment I feel as strong as Sampson with the clarity to change the world and find the lost and stand forever with no more nourishment than the strength you give me

and the next I feel infinitely weak, like my bones could crumple and melt into a puddle easily washed away - that I could sink into oblivion as your touch takes over.

and I've never known someone could have power like this
and I'm uncertain how

but I am certain the yours in the voice that will always usher in my butterflies
yours in the name that sparkles in my eyes
yours is the taste I wish would never leave my lips

I am infinitely warm with a smile tightly placed
and I'm sure not even a blizzard could chill us.
