Love Bursts

His tongue felt glued
to his gum with 
epoxy;

his legs swayed, wobbled,
softened like 
spaghetti;

for there, at last, she was,
waving over her 
shoulder;

her shy smile beckoning
him, "Come on 
over";

jet-black hair falling over
a mirthful, teasing 
eye;

ah, arterial bursts of love,
what a swell way 
to die!
