12 Steps to Madness

A poem about initial infatuation

 

1.  Fall face first into infatuation on endless levels.
2.  Still smile when I sneak peeks of the faint purple reminders you planted below my ears.
3.  Know that now is the time to play games that ignite butterflies.
4.  Want nothing more than to gaze into pools of green, luscious green.
5.  Still feel warm hands invading turtleneck tops until I giggle aloud and alone in the office.
6.  Wonder what other aspects are yet to be discovered.
7.  Wish you’ll let me lead a lengthy investigation.
8.  Praise the fates for leading me to this anomaly known as your arms.
9.  Convince myself you were only a lovely wet dream.
10. Will the phone to ring at odd hours to hear that manly voice whisper in my ear.
11. Say nothing. Do nothing.
12. Savor this spell as long as it lasts.
