Intoxication, you're pure intoxication. To me, you're like a drug.
I get drunk, high off you. Give me a hit of that good stuff.
Put yourself in a needle, and I'll stick you, directly, into my veins.
You bring me, pleasure, unrestrained.
Oh, what you do to me.
I just look at you, and I'm gone, totally.
Each time you're standing next to me, for air, I have to gasp.
Whenever I'm around you, my heart beats, so fast.
I want to stretch out the moment, make it last, and last,
For eons and evermore.
You send, my heart, into an, uproar,
My soul, dances, amongst, the clouds.
In your rapture, I am, utterly, enshroud.
No ecstasy, like that, with which you bathe, my soul.
Just being around you, a feeling... wonderful.
How can I capture just what you do to me?
Every bit, of my being, rapt, by your rhapsody,
Infatuated, enamored, besot... with such Affinity.
Aflutter, my heart, euphoric, with fancy.
By you, I'm left, just Stupefied.
It's like I'm dancing, amidst, a Whirlwind of Butterflies,
As I Float... Fancifully, in the sky.
Bewitched, you leave me, every time.
There's no magic, to match, your magic, Sublime.
Nothing, to match, your lure.
A Goddess, you are, like no one before.
Venus, Aphrodite, neither can match your
Incredibly Exhilarating Rapture.
I'm fascinated, by you, spellbound, captured,
Transfixed, Ever So.
No Such Splendor, As That Which You Bestow.
Your hair, in all its flowing beauty, a most enchanting picture, to my mind.
I just look at you, and I'm... hypnotized,
Entranced... beguiled... smitten... totally.
Every bit of my being, Infatuated... Amorously.
Just what is this hold that you have, over me?
The thought of you, alone, a high.
One solitary glance at you, and I'm left on, Cloud Nine.
Your eyes, into them, I could stare... forever.
Every moment, with you, is a moment I treasure.
There's nothing, quite as wonderful.
Sometimes, I wonder, how one could be, so... Incredible,
Remarkable,
Lovely, in every aspect.
In Paradise... Heaven... by you, each time, I'm left...
Your lips, they're perfect,
Your eyes, nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead, too.
You have such lovely aesthetics.
Girl, I'm so. into you.
Intoxication, it's your smile, beaming, bright, brilliant, and beautiful.
I'm enamored of you, utterly, and I just thought I'd let you know.
?
Your scent, redolent, like the fragrance of a rose is sweet,
It calls me, towards you, as the flowers do the Bees.
And like Bees, to flowers, I'm drawn to you, instinctively.
Like a drug, your fragrance, intoxicates me, utterly.
I smell a scent, reminiscent of yours, and I'm, completely, gone.
I hear a name, similar to yours, and it's a beautiful song,
Singing, sweetly, to my ears.
I look around, feverishly, wondering, is she here,
Was it you that they called!
On You, I'm Spoiled.
Your wonders, like no other girls.
I'm intoxicated, by you, just want you in my world.
I hear your voice,
And I look around, excitedly.
It's Such A Beautiful Noise.
It Makes My Heart, Just Skip A Beat,
Anticipating, Eagerly, your sight.
Just the thought of you, alone, a most intoxicating delight.
I've Known, No Greater Exultation!
Just having you around, it's pure, intoxication.

This is a poem that I originally wrote in the 90s. I wrote it to have a spoken word feel - saw it as a spoken word piece while writing it. It was partly inspired by the movie "ROXANNE", featuring Steve Martin, and it was written to celebrate a coworker that at the time I had mad love for and was utterly moved, raptured and inspired by. Note: I've revised and revamped it since then, adding my signature Aphrodite, Venus comparison line, and changing some lines a bit and adding a few more, where appropriate, but its essence and most of its lines remain the same, although, some of the newer lines added were inspired by others that have also caught my fancy overtime.
