There's a certain danger floating in the air, today Making it thick and heavy, almost solid It's the kind of danger that flickers in someone's eye A hint, a glimmer, a sparkle Courage and thrill, laced with insanity And if danger is a look, a lingering glance, a heated stare Then I know for certain that I've seen it before... I find that I'm fumbling for calm, struggling to look away But I can't...I just can't I am frozen to the spot on which I stand, stone still Motionless, breathless, speechless, all without mercy I feel a slight chill crawl slowly down my spine The chill of a kind of knowing, writhing fear But, not all fear is necessarily bad... My heart is fluttering, dancing, leaping, screaming, singing Making a very nice little mess out of my nerves and pulse Adrenaline flys through my veins, on wings of fire and ice Racing through my body like an out of control shooting star And my head is spinning, smoking, sputtering and aching Crafting, counting, sorting, sifting, suggesting A thousand different things per second Dissecting,discarding, displaying all possible possibilities Struggling to reach some sort of solution Attempting, to no avail, to do something Walk, run, breath, speak, scream, laugh Something, anything...*sigh* Nothing... Shaking now, my knees are weak My eyes close, by a will all their own I feel your lips greet mine softly And my body falls gently, yeilding to your embrace... |
