So alive

Fresher are you than any flower
richer than corn silk is your hair
loving you is more than I can bear
your smile, your eyes, your all male power
leaves me breathless, where can I go
my face flushing, my eyes dart here and there
looking for refuge,you look right through me, I swear
your smile I drown in, I cannot utter no
day after day you are in each thought
is this love? I cannot bear much more
to feel this much seems a shameless sin
I'm intoxicated with the joy you have brought
to each minute, each hour, each day, that before
once closed, but you are not like other men,
you make me feel so alive, in love again.
