COMPOSURE

Held spellbound by your ebony eyes

I tumbled to the bottom of my heart

Surrounded by your presence

I was warmed by remembered images

Of your radiant beauty

And feminine allure.

Charmed by your laughter and smile,

Tears of joy began to fall.

Suddenly, I was beckoned

By a rainbow to your soul.

It was disbelief

To find a woman with so many hues.

From ponder to passion

Your pendulum swings wide.

To see all your colors

To become your friend

I’ll take a step back

And keep my love inside.
