Hyperventilating Poem by Mark Heathcote

Oh I'm hyperventilating
My heart is out of breath
Oh, where has all the air-gone?
As your fingers strum along…

Oh my eyes are dilated
Oh, I'm now weakening,
Will I ever again breathe?
The same again

Oh, I'm hyperventilating
To a point; I can't believe.
Oh my muscles are like needed dough
I'm rising like a floating cloud.

As I caress the sky clueless
I live on your every breath
I've got nowhere; any other place to go
Now I've absorbed your firmament.

I'm scrambling for a breath
In a fog of delirium
Oh my eyes are dilated
But I feel no more shame wanting you again.

In the hush of a full moon
I sense the setting fall of the dew
Its apart of the world
Its apart of me and you.
