You make me glow.

When I talk to you
When I think of you
When I wake from dreaming of you
I feel like I'm holding
a warm sphere of light;
I start glowing.

It comes from within
exactly where, I'm not sure
but it radiates through me
all of me tingles with sparks of energy.

This sensation is new
is exciting
is wonderful
and I'm hoping
it's mutual.

I've always pictured
my true center
as a green core of light
with small tendrils reaching out
growing, budding, flowering.

When you walk into my world
I feel as though that core
bursts into life
it throws out vines in every direction
and creates flowers never seen before
Striped and speckled lilies,
Orchids beyond their normal extremities
Daisies, irises, pansies
Roses, lavender, jasmine, lilac

I've never felt so alive
if that's what this feeling is
I can't begin to imagine
what it'll be like
when you hold me in your arms.
