Already Smitten

Her lily locks that lap against her neck
To string my fingers through is but a dream
Already smitten, bound, my mind a wreck
To gain her heart, impossible it seems

Her smile met mine and stole its mighty strength
A nervous heart, left drowning in her wake
To gain the closeness needed takes times length
To feign a chance makes hope for this a fake

Her purest skin resembles angel white
There’s hope her face reflects inside her heart
A sinner I am worthless in her sight
Unhopeful that her courtship I can start

     Be there a chance it might with her begin
     I must start slow, endure the mind to win

Unification Undone

I move much closer each time that I see The essence pure with greatness understood Perfection pumps throughout her veins, her blood Her strength continues to triumph over me It takes me captive then it sets me free To mix like water with dirt, we turn to mud Such joining forces two to bond in […]
