Luminescence

it slinks across my face
unbidden,
unwanted.

slowly rising with a thought,
an image,
a word,

spreading thickly, affecting me more
I grow taller
light a spark

unmistakeably it moves to my eyes,
opening them wider
like a happy child.

And not a conscious thought to place it there.
yet it comes,
and so it grows

and the battles lost and won to hold it back.
it resides
despite the fighting.

and the cause of this fight across my features?
its what I know
and whom I now see.
