Analysis of Breathless



I see you there, against the backdrop of a billion stars.
The night lit by the glow of the fire, as you beckon me toward you.
I feel your spirit reach for me, as it draws me closer to our inevitable encounter.
Dimly lit twinkles burst in the air around you, as we close the distance between us.
Taking your hand, I am drenched in your power, your very soul.
Your touch...like a million shards of light, circle and surround me.
Enveloping me in mystic chains, ensnaring me in the throes of ecstasy.
