Mind Control
My love I’m going to control
Your thoughts today
You’ll think of me
And of what I say
And to yourself
You’ll smile within
Perhaps…just mayhaps
Suppress a grin
My words will leave
An indelible trace
On your heart
And within your mind
You’ll recall, replay
and savor my words
As if they were
vintage wine
They’re naught but simple words
Yet also simply seldom heard
Tho’ their powers are great
Beyond measure…
You’ll uncover them anew
All the day through
As if they were
buried treasure
They’re only phrases
Three words in length
Yet seem endowed
With superhuman strength
You’ll carry your head high
With a happy gleam in your eye
All because of a phrase or two
And here are just a few…
“You ‘re amazing”
“You’re beautiful!”
“You bewitch me!”
…And “I love you!”…
