Electricity

There’s something electrifying about the air around you

Do you mind if I stand a little closer and breathe you in

So close, the hairs on my arms stand up and reach towards you

Our bodies separated by the energy charging between our skin

I shake the shivers off and imagine enveloping your warmth

Permeating every corner of my being to fingertips and pinky toes

I can’t find the right words so I invent them blindly

They pour out of me in a drunken stupor that grows

Inebriated by your silence

And I’m thirsty for more
