The you that gets me

Am drawn to intelligence, like a mosquito to light
It whispers to me and caresses me and enthralls
it reaches the core of me and permeates
not just anywhere, but where it matters
 
Confidence toys with me, as sure as the sun sets
it beckons me, it grips me and intrigues
it mesmerizes and alludes to a lot better
not just in one thing, but in many more
 
I’m nurtured by conversation,like the soil yearns for rain
it fills me up, feeds me and keeps me glued
makes me laugh, makes me cry
not just once, but all the time
 
Flirting teases me, like a cheater eyeing a baby gazelle
it waters my eyes, parts my lips and heaves my chest
it promises fulfillment of extreme ecstasy
not mildly, but explosively
 
Passion ignites me, like a giant roar
Wets my palette, piques desire and sparks life
its keeps me coming, coming back
not sometimes but most times
