Struck By Lightning

Struck By Lightning

Love at first sight, struck by lightning
I say your name out loud
As if speaking you into existence is
Magic just like you
Twinkling sparkles and dust
Meant to generate your body
Your face, your voice
And your soul right before me
The same way you make
Goosebumps on my skin
Accelerate my pulse
A smile on my face
And joy in my heart.

You are subtlety in fine feminine form 
Your name comes in silence
As soft as echoes across
Every moment in my thoughts
Repeating petals of flowers
Whose blossoms decorate
A secret garden
Millions of wishes for you
To be happy everywhere
Smiling all at once
Breathing and thinking of me
Beaming with joy
And coloring my world.

Awestruck and amazed all by you
You can walk up or simply stand
Still as a marble statue
Soft as a summer breeze
Or quick as a thunderbolt
And the effect is the same
Your face and your name
Strike the same way
You move me
A force of nature
Making me pivot
In your amorous direction
And suddenly I am all yours!
