Dazzle me, baby, dazzle me!

You dazzle me!
Always, you blind me
With your brilliance,
Compel me with your ferocity.

You inspire me
To live my life,
Out loud, boldly
Cutting my own path.

No wilderness too vast,
No challenge too daunting,
I am braver, bolder, better,
Because my path crossed yours.

Drawing your own
Maps with big bold
Multi-colored crayons,
You forge trails.

Living your life with
Drive, adventure,
And more imagination
Than any thousand others.

I blush at my own thoughts
As I smile at your sheer joy,
Your child-like giddiness,
Your absolute clarity of vision.

Your intellect is as distracting,
As tangible, as alluring
As the shimmering lotion on
Your arms, your breasts…

I dream of exploring the
Terrain of your mind,
Climbing your mountains,
Showering in your waterfalls.
