Blood Rush

Swi...ssh is the sound I hear
my yahoo messenger alerts
My special friend is online

The tone alone has the power
To change the way I breathe
Your name seen in an instant
Quickens my heart beat

My brain looses all prior thoughts
Queasy feelings rise in me
My ears hot
My throat squeezed
all words I now speak
with a low guttural voice

my chest heaves up and down
oxygen seems scarce
my veins begin to vibrate
as the flow increases there

i hold my breath unknowingly
aware only intermittently
when I heave a sigh

my heart pounds incessantly
and i know the reason why

you're not even in my presence
no where near me physically
but the changes in my anatomy
they amaze even me

god how could this be
how could i feel
like this
for you

you're online though miles away
and you haven't got a clue
that i love you

that without any act of your own
my whole equilibrium
is disrupted by the thought
the very concept of you

beyond my control
beyond reason and logic
my emotions rise up
grasping my vital organs

my heart pumps faster
my lungs expel erratically
my cheeks get hot
my face is flushed
as my body is
consumed by this
blood rush
