The Sequence

Eyes wandering. Can’t hide.
Anticipation. The restless side.
The time. The place.
The time to go.
Unknowing.
The unknown.

Arrival. “Hellos.” Words of embrace.
Slight Awkwardness, then the definite face.
That first pulsation.
The feeling inside.
Doubting.
No place to hide.

Comedy. Tragedy.
Everything, yet tranquility.
Quick glances. The heat.
Hearts ignite.
Beginning.
That sight.

Flowing blood. Perfect grace.
No other wants. No other face.
Hands. Neck.
The growing passion.
Determination.
My only reaction.

The after party. New “highs” and “lows.”
Staleness. Haunting “no’s.”
Wishing. Regretting.
Staying alive…
Hopeless love.
Not really alive.
