The Eyes That Bind

Hopelessly mesmerized by your exquisite allure,
There was no verse to express this hypnotic trance.

Trapped in bright orbs of speckled green fire,
I became an instant captive to your fixed gaze.

Your lethal glance stabbed my pulsating heart;
As I was left gasping for breath, body trembling.

With one sultry, seductive flutter of thick lash,
The last seeds of fruitless defiance had expired.

What could possibly break this addictive, narcotic spell?
And who would be foolhardy enough to wish rehabilitation?

Mighty torrents of cascading and turbulent desire,
Washed me forever down a deep, unmeasured stream.

Oh, what a prophesized, delectable death that awaited;
As I readily and blissfully courted my final termination.

I was drowning in a whirlpool of primative passion,
Eternally caught looking into the eyes that bind.
