Steady Glow Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

When you are near, a spark takes flight,
My heart begins a race tonight.
Adrenaline wakes the nerves inside,
With nowhere left for me to hide.

My palms are damp, my face is red,
With happy thoughts inside my head.
The dopamine begins to play,
And pulls me closer every day.

But as the days turn into years,
The calm replaces all the fears.
The bonding chemicals take hold,
A steady warmth, as truth is told.

The stress dissolves into the air,
With someone kind who's always there.
The pulse grows rhythmic, soft, and slow,
In the quiet peace of love's steady glow.
