spellbound | poem seventeen posted by imani , Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at 2:49 PM, in Labels: ars poetica

a gleam of moonlight
a streak of intensity
inexorable and streaming,
dragging my body
to the prison of your
embrace
my soul drinks from
the flowering gaze
of your smile,
my heart leaps from
the abyss to lastly
tough the hours
chained in melancholy
and yearning
to be with you again.
