A Love This Deep

Hair as dark as night and eyes shining with mystique,
A smile plays on his lips, enough to make me weak.
His beauty captivates me, in ways that can’t be seen,
For a love this deep no one could ever have foreseen.

He beckons me forward, and I melt inside,
His eyes challenge me and I must decide.
Am I willing to change my ways for a man,
Who with the grace of an athlete, lies on the divan?
 
A playful smile tugs at his lips,
And he moves his hands to rest on his hips.
My heart races, my decision is made,
I’m drawn to him, by a love that I can’t evade.
 
When he moves I move, pulled by an invisible string,
For this love and desire is all consuming.
He holds my heart in his hands, and plays it like a violin,
I’m bound to him and his life of sin.
 
My body and soul is now his to entice,
For he has melted this heart of ice.
Never will I say goodbye,
For a love this deep you cannot deny.
