 Overheating By: Nadia Lockheart 2/26/18 . . You flashed a longing glance, in the heat of a Friday night... . . then, so as to not be noticed, looked down bashful and mortified... . . ...and you must have picked up on, my scurry look away... . . ...sharing this expressive silence, praying it will translate... . . ...but my heart switches up, I'm losing coordination, worried the foundation, of our bond would break, if I came off too strong, and my pulse starts to quicken, as you mouth all you'd like to say... . . . Overheating... ...you can't steady your hands, I feel my stomach cramp, overheating... ...staring into your eyes, can't you tell that I'm, ...overheating... ...you can't steady your hands, I feel my stomach cramp, overheating... ...staring into my eyes, begging for a vital sign, overheating... ...overheating... . . . There's no grasping long division, with this math of the heart... . . ...moments like these don't happen twice, slicing the night like falling stars... . . ...writhing and clutching, invisibly where we are... . . ...but my heart switches up, in this sweet desperation, we find faint consolation, in the frenzied borderline, of an ecstatic free fall, and an involuntary goodbye... . . . Overheating... ...you can't steady your hands, I feel my stomach cramp, overheating... ...staring into your eyes, can't you tell that I'm, ...overheating... ...you can't steady your hands, I feel my stomach cramp, overheating... ...staring into my eyes, begging for a vital sign, overheating... ...overheating... ...overheating... . . .

Wow! Look at you writing such passionate beauty. Love seeing you here! "In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things." |

You know. I've had these moments! You describe it in a way that clenched the heart beautifully. I know where you are, but I miss you being around here. "I know this love will tear me to pieces |
