Art Ting Poet Free verse

The First Curtain Call

you’ve cast a spell on me; 
your eyes shine brighter than any spotlight
and i’m captive on 
the stage of your attention

your hair flutters around you-
the brightest confetti i’ve ever seen
your lips whisper those three words
that incantation to my heart 

a quick tap of one-two-three;
your fingers are wrapped in mine
and the whole world still;
the earth is holding its breath

your lips whisper those words
that spell that will make me yours
but you’ve already captured me
long long ago

before the stage was set
you turned to me that day
the moonlight framed your silhouette perfectly
a paid actor for the climactic scene

you turned to me that night
a smile brighter than the sun upon your face
your lips whisper that one word 
the word that makes me “i”

the word leaves your lips
and you smile all the while
staring, like i am the moon
and you the moth

with those spotlight-bright eyes
and that sunlight smile
you called my name that night
you whispered it like it was a secret verse

and 
just like that
just like magic,
i was yours
