  My eyes fell upon
  your beautiful face
  like alabaster, sculpted
  so smooth and fine.
  Something in your manner
  your eyes that burned into mine
  a fascination began
  with no ending yet seen
  For, believing the wonder grown cold
    unseen for so long
    altho' the image of you
    often flickered wamrly
    in my mind
  Thought I was safe
  from the onslaught of enchantment
  that seeing you again might bring - yet
  I can't help but feel
  the heat of your presence
  wanting to say the words
  to let you see
  I watch you move, with a grace and light
  you seem unaware of what tumult I know
  I am afraid my very thoughts will burst
    in a shower of color and noise
    falling upon you
    like a hot, heavy rain
    chasing you farther
    and farther
    away...
