Kelly Deschler Poet Prose

Captivation

Have you ever felt captivated by someone?
I mean kidnapped, just taken by their eyes
and neither can completely escape.

I don't know what it is about him and I?
We feel drawn together so strongly.
Did we meet in another life?

Your charcoal eyes are always smoldering
they burn with intensity
through every one of your photographs.
Such vivid, heated passion
even in stark black and white.

I have never seen lips like yours.
I run my fingers across them
wishing they were more
than paper and shadows.

Whatever happens to us in the coming days,
I know your image will remain
in my mind permanently,
forever welded together.

Anthony Beesley April 21, 2015 at 7:35 PM Love it when oneness turns into obsession Kelly Deschler April 25, 2015 at 9:00 PM Obsession is an all consuming feeling, but it can also blind and make love seem real when it may not be.

Anthony Beesley April 9, 2015 at 6:25 PM Love it...very lustful and longing Kelly Deschler April 15, 2015 at 1:39 AM Thank you for reading my poem. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Anthony... Infatuation and lust in a relationship can be blinding. It can deceive and make you think it is love when it is not.

So, I will have to wait and see what happens from here.

Frederic Parker March 24, 2015 at 9:15 PM I believe everyone at some point in their lives have an image of what their perfect love or lover would look like.Then when someone appears whose features come close to that image there is a familar face.. Kelly Deschler April 1, 2015 at 7:28 PM I think we do fantasize about a perfect love and when we find them it is like a dream come true. But, it takes more than that for someone to be a true soul mate... Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem. I do appreciate it, Frederic.
