Well Being
All it took was one look
into your eyes, and my heartbeat
spiked, like nothing
meant a thing before that
moment. I just fell into
those dark wells leading
to your soul, my whole being
fleeing before me
to be a part of you.
This is my response to Quadrille #75: Spike Up a Poem, the prompt from De Jackson at dVerse, which is to use any form of the word spike in a quadrille, a 44-word poem that does not require meter or rhyme.

I still think “Tachycardia” would’ve been a better title. 😉

That’s fine with me, as long as you give me chest compressions. ❤

Great ending – “fleeing before me to be a part of you.” I like the unexpected phrase of “fleeing before me,” like running before the wind while sailing.

I like the joining of the two as one that happens here. Wonderful. Loss of self can be a good thing, when followed by the right kind of “we.”

Really like “my whole being / fleeing” – utterly descriptive – totally out of one’s control (even if one wanted to put on the brakes!)
