It Happens Sometimes

This is how my inner world turns. I can feel the layers and textures of light swirl and bend around me like a prism as my thoughts of you bounce around and reflect back to me with warmth. Your existence overwhelms all my senses until I arrive in a state of amplification with brilliant rays coursing through my limbs. I shudder as the power pulses through me, radiating to my fingertips thereby electrifying each individual peripheral nerve until the circuit is overloaded into darkness. Your presence, like the soft glow of a candle, keeps me from plummeting into complete pitch black but a cozy umber where some of the remaining particles dance and emit a glimmer to the walls of my mind. I am lulled into a sense of comfort and security to rest as I wrap myself in the threads of thought that weave themselves into a layered afghan in the depths of my brain.

I'm retracing my steps to figure out how I ended up in this divine oasis away from the hateful desert I have learned to survive in for so long.

With eyes like fountains that replenish one's thirst for everlasting growth, he has somehow revitalized my dessicated being to continue the journey on this mortal plane.

His smile is the radiance that provides warm assurances and welcomes me into the morning hours with affection rather than set my brain ablaze with anxiety.

I feel sheltered in his arms, which protect my weather-beaten remains from the trauma of this all-consuming sandstorm, replacing the defenses that were blown away.

His voice echoes melodies of long forgotten sentiment that remind me of sweeter times and his tenor resonates with the neglected symphony that was muted in the trials of my youth.
