Within

I had never felt like this before.

Everything unfamiliar

Feelings,

Conflictions,

Fears,

All new.

An ocean washed over me.

Waves coming down,

Over and over.

Bright and powerful,

I was beginning to drown.

Overwhelming me.

With no clue how to react. 

The waves overpowered me.

I succumbed to them.

They filled my heart,

My senses

My lungs,

My blood,

My flesh,

My bones,

My everything,

Me.

Filling me to the brim,

With desire of which - 

I had never known.

Growing in my heart,

It yelled for you.

Ache -

All for you.

Your advent,

Was only for me.

Everything in me,

Was overtaken by your grasp.

Nothing else mattered.

No matter -

Where

Nor how

Nor why.

You haunted my heart,

Scattered my senses

Besieged my bones,

Lavished my lungs

Flamed my flesh 

Bewitched my blood.

All of my everything,

Was invaded by you.

Dedicated to you.

All of it,

For you.

Your glow,

Your color.

It filled me -

With ecstasy. 

Longing,

Burning within me.
