Blinded By Beauty

I tied my love to beauty's face And fell into her wicked eyes The world alive was fresh and new She wore a good disguise We counted petals in the Spring In chosen meadows, we would lay And watch the sun until twilight Her hungry kiss would sway The picture of her face I kept I held it close inside my mind Her presence haunted like a dream Would always make me blind Our rendezvous end breathlessly I saw nothing for me to fear Silhouette lays on sunset shore Pierced by a lover's spear To find I was time consumed With fire's passion turned ash debris She burned my soul with sensual sighs Then dropped her mask with glee 2/8/18
