thy face, which where thy eyes— that has glimmered and gave a myriad of human beings optimism; thy nose— that have smelled the blood of thy nemesis for untold times; and thy lips— that had kissed me once upon a time; lie, is needless to say leaving me enthralled. thy strong features make thee even more dainty for reasons i am not able to explain. thy body that has curves which always catches me off guard, caused the lips of mine to embow ceaselessly. yet, not only thy appearances had fascinated me, but also thy haunting soul that embraced me firm which left me feeling sane for the time being.
oh, thy love enchants
that i am left mesmerized
and longing for more.
