Did I tell you that you're special-
And still I can't explain...
The tantalizing pleasure...
Yet the haunting fear of pain?

Nor the sense I feel of deja vu-
Each time that you're around...
I'm tempted to bid you adieu...
And yet my heart is bound.

Your eyes are lit with secrets-
You're longing to impart.
Your lips are rose's petals...
And your smile can break a heart.

Your presence is a fragrant breath...
Dispelling all my gloom.
Like the birthing of a brand new day
Each time you grace the room.

Your voice is like a well tuned harp-
Such melody sublime-
Sets the cadence of my pulse-
My heart does beat in time...

And yet I sense impending doom-
If I should speak your name...
I'd wither in your burning love-
Like moth within a flame.

So flee poor moth...the flame is hot-
Haste, haste, into the gloom.
You dare not cross her threshold, lad,
Destruction's in her room.

This writing is too fine to just languish too far from the top. You captivate me with each poem that you share.

Love It! Great Write!
