Intensity
Like all the molecules in my body vibrating at once
At an elevated frequency
Endorphins firing, dopamine released.
A magnet, pulling,
Like the tide
If not careful, it’ll consume you
Before you’re even aware.
Never extinguished,
Only running latent,
Undetected until
The eyes lock
The ears hear the honeyed tone
The inhalations slow to sync.
Like tendrils
Those hooks pull you under
Entangling your limbs, your vital organs
Until you’ve got the decision
Fight or be consumed.
And you lie back
Reveling in the mess.
