euphoria

Thursday, 14 June 2007 By Pervis

Sometimes

I get very happy

I flail my boots around

so I can be wizz you
and its like my sensation of infinity roars

courses of blood race through my veins and brain

in joyous surges

the euphoria taunts me unbearably

and an urge to express something over comes me

I might stand up and shake my head from side to side

and in circles

sometimes with tears spraying across my cheeks

and my smile hurting my face

I delight in being alive

for a few brief moments

and then a craving

for something

to extend the feeling

and the pain
