Captivated

She captivated my spirit long ago upon day we met. Long golden hair that captivated my eyes in midday, Her eyes of blue, gave me a vision upon eves set. Lips that would whisper words, in a sweet way, We became friends at first, talking, playing for hours. Pledged we were to be married, when older we knew. What of youths understanding of love, upon powers, No expectations, innocence, buried without a clue. Our first kiss, between the trees of our secret place, Soft wind floating down from sky, our affection, Clouds racing above, watching, hearts begin to race, Time, both stood still and sped, in each direction, Separation our destiny, never to allow our grace, Torn away, now, captivated in recall of her face. Written for contest by Laura Mckenzie
