IMPACT

Impulses and currents racing
Through circuits at so many
Feet per second.  Terminals,
Junctions and relays to jump.
Faster through the stretch
Slowing for the curves. Then
The sudden plunge downward
Arriving at break neck speed
It hits the mark and the body
Curls and the knees become
weak.  The heart races and
The body begins to perspire.
I try to recover but it’s too
Late. There's no switch that
will stop what is about to occur.
The subconscious takes over
As your breathing increases
Your heart rate racing now
You reel from the experience
The current slows the body has
Taken the jolt of electrical
Impulses the heart is now in
Control.  Your brain has no
Choice but to relinquish its grip.
Once the body begins to normalize
The heart sends the signal.
Collision, impact, relax...
You're in love.

Whew!!!  Thank God, I thought it was another anxiety attack...and y'know, the only way to tell the difference is that love FEELS GOOD.
Lol...and thank you much for the ride on the run-away train...

Thank you for the kind words. This free style is a new endeavor for me. I have not posted for quite some time until now. I believe my last poems according to the search were in December. Thank you. Coming from an accomplished poet such as yourself makes me happy.
