this is a submission by Renée Lee
**
we’re all dazed and delirious,
wrapped in a cloak of ignorant bliss
reckless nights drowning in the affections of a new infatuation
impulsive kisses and fervent touch,
rapturous in our ecstasy
intoxicated confessions speak an unvarnished truth of a simple minded state,
a declaration of revelations, sensitivities and vulnerabilities
in spite of this, we recover our delirium
surrendering to the ease of oblivion
adolescence captured in a reverie of endless euphoria
