Zest

The boredom of the mundane

evaporated as you rose,

and ascended into my center.

Now boundless and bursting,

I find myself vibrant–

raging alive,

blazing aglow, 

from the zest you cast upon me.

My life-force zapped by your connection,

I’m electrified… 

each cell stands erect,

and dimensions flood my flatness.

You breathe vigor into my body,

as my smokey lunges revive

from the crispness infused in your exhale.

At ease, I’m expanding in bloom,

overflowing with child-like awe,

until I’m ripping at the the seams,

passion and purpose pouring out.

With engagement and absorption, 

I’m now enthused by the present moment, 

yet eager for what’s approaching–

making more out of this life,

All because of you.
