Flight

Flight

A Poem by Monday Parker

My entire body responds to you
When I see you
Or hear your name.
Quivers of adrenaline
Creep up and down my arms
My blood thickens
Heart pounds in my chest
The words get stuck to my tongue
My whole body is aware when you are near
Sunday afternoon
I sat in my sage filled bedroom
Drumming and rattling to help
Free my thoughts
I concentrated on the effects of you
Narrowing it down
Compared you to other lovers, or events in my time
I saw something in my nomadic trance
You don’t draw out sweetness or butterflies
With you its anxiety and stress
Regret
My body is screaming for me to run from you
The feelings you bring me are of a car crash
Conflict or fist fights
Its blue flashing lights
You give me fight or flight.

Nice write palpable palpitations in the lines. I have a cat and some plants they almost never make me feel that way:) occasionally the fern might get a bit mouthy and the cats limbs start falling off for lack of water. but all in all its a good relationship I'd say. You have to admit a little danger has a certain amount of allure to it tho.

You might want to consider tactfully ending this one. Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.

Hahah. Yup. Sound advice.
I do believe the body warn us. Simple signs we know. Good to pay attention to them. Monday Parker, I liked the energy and the drive of your words. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
