Are you feeling me

Tell me how it feels
when you’re in LOVE
I mean,
tell me how it really feels
when you’re madly in LOVE

Does it feel like being
drenched by cascades of water
from the Niagara Falls?
Or does it feel like being
scorched by leaping flames
flaring up from the sun?

Does it feel like the rush
you get when you inject
your first score?
Or does it feel like liberty
Mandela must have felt when they
opened his prison doors

Does the joy feel like the first time
you see your first born smile
Or does it hurt like
when a Mother loses her only child

Does it exhilarate like a bungee jump
from the Golden Gate Bridge
And does it go deep like a diver does
when jumping from the ridge of a cliff?

Is it as wide as the east is from the west?
Or is it as high as crack smoked on
the side walk beneath the Empire state?
Is it as gentle as a breeze on your cheek?
Or is it as rough as the shadow on his face?

Is it as strong as the grip of death its self?
Or maybe as weak as a failing broken heart
Is it as subtle as a little white lie?
Or is it as true as release from apartheid

Some say when you feel it
you will be the first to know
Its unmistakable presence will make
your face shine and your insides glow

Past hurts may try and claw you
back beneath the ebb and flow
But you cast of abandon and
launch to lands unknown

You will look longingly over coffee at
swanky bars on the champs Elysee
Eat fish and chips from the daily read
as a favourite hobbie

Bathe in olive oil of
sun drenched Greek isles
Embrace each other as lovingly
as a father holds his
new born child

You will linger long
over one glass of wine
Chat intensely, laugh hysterically
with no thought of the passing of time

You will see beauty in
the roughest of exteriors
You will taste the exotic fruit
of passionate endeavour

When he says your name it will be
as innocent as the first time
When she says your name it will be
said so many times

You will touch each other
with silly texting
Tears will awash your face
when the other is leaving

You will seize each day
with passion and haste
You will praise God in heaven
for yet another blissful day

When you answer the phone your
palms will clam with sweat
When you open the door you’re
hearts will sway in
delightful synchronicity

You will stay up for hours
in a singular kiss
with the moon light, shimmer of stars
Enveloping you in sheer exstatic bliss

So you’re telling me
this is what it feels like
to be in LOVE?

YES and when you find it,
Your peace will flow like a river
And your honour will be pure
like white satin doves
