Like Looking into the Eyes of a Lover

Google Images


"The moon lives in the lining of your skin." 
~ Pablo Neruda


Like looking
 into the eyes of a lover
I find myself spellbound 
at the sight of you
 I look on 
in your direction 
every chance I can
like a man 
with a beautiful
woman in view
my eyes follow
the curves
and it feels like
you follow me 
on my path
do you feel
it to?
the pull
the longing
to be closer
or is it 
just a
spell 
that 
you 
have 
cast
upon
me
alone
like 
a
forlorn
gypsy
may
pickpocket
a fool?
If I
shall be
a fool
then
let it be
yours!


Linking with Imaginary Gardens for Fireblossom Friday
~I Put a Spell on You~
....and her words always do!

  3. The shape works so well... there is a sense of suffocation in the narrowing lines. But maybe in the end it's better be a fool

  4. As I read, it feels like the spell mother nature casts on me.........maybe it is because of the image accompanying this poem, which I enjoyed very much.

  5. If you are going to be a fool then be a fool to the moon.
