Good heavens,
   It's beyond
      my comprehension
         what you just did
            to me.
It's a mystery
   hidden fathoms deep
      within your eyes;
         i n e x p l i c a b l e
            what came over me
with just one nictitation.
   Could it be the bells
      hung on your eyelids?
         Intense curiosity
            precariously
dangles at the tip of
   my tongue
      refusing
         to tumble out.
            I'm tangled cap-a-pie
in your web of seduction.
   Could it simply be
      your powerful magnetism?
         I'm left
            hypnotized.

So beautiful how youv expressed her dear EI, your words also flow so seamlessly in such a beautiful and touching manner! I love so many phrases here especially " could it be the bells hung on your eyelids" " tip of my tongue-" the subtle use of alliterations there. "Web of sduction" love so much about this and the ending is brilliant and fitting for the poem! Pleasure reading this gem. Sending you light always
