Flirtation
By: Tanney Christiansen

Exhilaration!
Trepidation!
Sensation!
Temptation!
Flirtation!

The tickle you get when you are being
Twitterpated!

Adrenalin flows through your boiling blood,
The Blood flows to your ripening ears,
Then loop-de-loops to the heated heart.
The hearts starts to speed like race cars!

Words fly out of pressed lips,
Floating around his head and yours,
Flying,
Lifting
You up to where you’re confident.
Smiling as though you’re his already.

Yet,
CRASH!!!!
All of a sudden
That smile, The Smile, oh, THE SMILE!
That boy
No-that man
No-that God
A GOD!!!
Smiles at you!

His eyes melt you into a pool,
A pool of hopeless romanticism,
Back to where you began all aflutter.

Stu...stu...stumbling over words.
Giggles erupt out of your throat.

Butter-flutter-by-flys
By the storms
Surround your stomach in a plague
From Moses' time.

Torture, this is TORTURE!!
How much can I take?
I like it, the fit, the bit, the knit
Of boy and girl,
Playing with words, trying not to be nerds.
Torture, enjoyable torture.
Who thought it would be this sweet.
An addiction is added.
I can live through it!
Can't live with it-
Can't live without it.

The joy of success
Talking to….
Him.

Relief, Sigh, Relief
Rinses into you like a
Poured bucket of water
Dropped on you as he walks away.
Torment over.
Happy, yet wanting
Dreading that departure.

When can I do it again?????
