Full Throttle Rush



My pulse peaks and my thoughts erased, I strain for a breath.  My muscles tighten and everything around me turns to white.  My physical being is in that of a paralyzed state, transfixed.  I grip tighter and pulled harder.  I've no fear and feel a sense of calm, peace.  I hear no sound.  I feel my head bow, not by choice, by force.  I've not left the ground...



but I'm flying.

Mistletoe


circa 1913



Sitting under the
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and... 




Tired I was; my head would go
Nodding under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen—and
