Overcome

I am overcome by you (2026).

I am overcome
by the waves.
They crash against me and
Toss me, turn me, twist me.
I am overcome
By the power
Of your presence.
I am overcome.

Fear bubbles up in my chest
As my thoughts of you
Tower above my head and
Crash down upon me.
Your smile forces its way
Into my lungs.
It suffocates me,
I am drowning in your chocolate brown eyes
and I am overcome.

I wish to be relieved of the terror
without losing the power
of your gaze,
but I am overcome.
I want the waves to calm
and the sun to shine
upon the icy blue ocean
of my affection
of which, I am overcome.
