POSSESSED





Excited I entered
Ready for an evening's delights
To the right side of the stage
In the twinkling lights
From the dark corner
Radiance

Bursting bright
Your smile carried my world
Eyes flashing rhythmically
What a beautiful sight
I stared in outright disbelief
You caught me then

And locking your eyes
Prisoner in deep
I possessed no bribes
No words or other gifts
Shiftless I stared
Content

Simply to have your brief intent
To look into your smiling eyes
And watch you dance
Beautifully
My evening's delightful surprise
Prisoner in stranger's deep eyes

Excited I awoke
Afterthoughts of night
Carried hazed memories
Jailor's eyes and mine
Looking of a prison key

Entering unaware
I catch a glimpse
Of this beautiful girl
Lovely long hair cascading
Flooding her face delicately
Hiding her features from me
Obliviously I find my jailor's eye
Immediate release

A desire to meet you
Chance myself again
I knew you were
The same midnight maiden
But having to ask
My excuse to bask
Enraptured in capture
No desire for escape
You broke the moment
Having to finish work
I fell back into myself
To find you
Had stolen my heart
