They have made me your captive
You have bewitched me
I watch your fingers
As they work in the kitchen
Deft and beautiful
The warmth of your smile
Soft words as you speak to me
They play with my heart
You shine like the sun
With you I can live again
We both will flourish
Your voice like a song
Such sweet melody of love
In time with my heart
I idolize you
Put me in your sweet prison
Never let me go

The way of a sweet prison.. There is something dark there for me..... Still passion is so much stronger.

Oh! the delight of the presence put together with yearning and the fear of losing. "Prison" is a sad replacement for a heart! I love the complexity of this poem which pretends to be simple.
ReplyDeleteThere is passion in this poem, but also something to fear in the yearning for the 'sweet prison.'
ReplyDeleteah yes the eye and heart of a romantic never gets old. gracias
ReplyDeleteSubmission to love is sometimes a scary thing to do. But having that experience is worth trying.

Never let me go
Once captive one is worst off than being captivated. One just surrenders!

"Never let me go" like in the song...yes, sometimes we idolize our partners for good or for bad....
