Love Poem: Breathtaking

Breathtaking

Beautiful inclinations came as cascading waterfalls
     Rushing through my mind as wind through stalks of wheat
     Even as this pleasure consumed its prey, I knew
     At that very moment, this had to be a dream.
     This improbable euphoria cannot be.  No one
     Has this much wealth.  No one can be propelled at
     This pace and not have surrendered ones senses.
     As I tried, with my last ounce of reason, to
     Know the dubious consequences of my fate,
     I surrendered to the plaintive wind song of this tenderness.
     Now I knew its meaning.  To Love.
     Gone were my inhibitions in true triumph.
