Charisma

“Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.” 

William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet

Charisma

When he flashed that smile, with dimples and perfect chin,
the ladies’ knees grew weak and Romeos couldn’t win.

Not just the smile, but the North star twinkle in his eyes…
and the wink, not a blink, but a smoothness that electrifies.

He carries himself with grace, polite, yet bold and witty.
Around this charisma-dynamo, the opposite sex feels pretty.

He has his pick of every girl, in college, to his friends’ chagrin,
but the new girl, with Juliet-charisma, he’d have to kneel to win.
